	What about a button to pause rendering ? Would it be possible to stop
rendering, and keep on rendering later ?

	Why is there no shadow maps in scanline mode ? Why isn't a better
anti aliasing available in scanline ? I wish I had not to render everything
in trace mode if I want to get a nice result...
	I really think Imagine rendering is VERY POOR, compared to 3D Studio.
Not only is it slower, but it is also worse (in terms of quality) Yes, it
requires less memory, but writing a new z-buffer based algorithm would be
fast, would allow shadows (and even soft shadows !)with a multiple z-buffer,
and provide anti-aliasing with an a-buffer algorithm... There are many
solutions to improve rendering ! and why not radiosity ?
	Is it possible to draw complex curves (more complex than a 2-axis
path) in the stage editor to make animations easier, or in the detail editor?
	What about MACROS ? I read in the ad for 3.0 upgrade (in Amiga Format)
that it would be possible to "record" a series of actions in a script...
Wonderful idea ! I would be able to record, say mode pick edges->edge filter
->make sharp, and then make a button for this boring action...

	Any of those suggestions would be a good thing for imagine. Good
idea to do this campain, Lesk...
