Drag&drop and "fast" Materials

[tike]

hi!

yesterday i have installed a demo of Fry for Rhino and i was shocked (after a restart) how smooth material dragging&dropping worked! i think it is really a musthave feature for v-Ray. material management must be generally improved.

it would also be great to find an absolute speed-factor for materials (maybe calculated by material editor like jpg-size is calculated from compression ratio). it would be nice to see how fast some of the materials are. (i know some people make a time-stamp with or without hardware data but its hard to re-calculate.)

thanks

Re: Drag&drop and "fast" Materials

The goal is to have much of the UI reworked for better workflow and easier use. Drag and Drop is definitely one of the things we'd like to add.

I'm not sure what you mean by absolute speed factor. Speed depends on so many things, so its not something where 1 material is always going to be a certain speed. The speed of a material will change based on the scene, your settings, and maybe other materials.
