Tooltips

[Dynedain]

Max9 is adding tooltips to the material editor showing what each of the parameters does. They're really focusing on this in the new MR shaders (yes the ones that are ripoffs of VRay, Brazil, FR, etc.).

It'd be nice if VRay could have the same functionality once Max9 ships
Even better would be if VRay could beat Autodesk to the punch (probably not though depending on how the tooltip API is implemented).

We had tooltips for the Render Scene dialog at some point, but since there was a problem that I suspected was caused by tooltips, they were removed. The problem turned out to be something else though... the code is still there so ideally it should be as simple as uncommenting a few lines of code... and writing tooltips, of course

Best regards,
Vlado

yeah I second the return of tooltips, but maybe a checkbox somewhere to turn them off as well. There is nothing worse than annoying tooltips at times!
