This page is intended to list feature requests. Please do think of this list as Animator enhancements rather than a wishlist for big things. A request like “copy paste keyframes” is an enhancement. A request like “I want Renderman support” is not. Each listed feature should be clearly defined and suggestions should be made how to integrate them.

Project Window

Direct Object Renaming

Select an object and hit “enter”. The object name highlights and can be overwritten. Same as with folders in the Function Curve Editor.

Folders

I’d like to see folders in the project window, much like in the Function Curve Editor. Add a folder and drag all items into it. Just to tidy up the project window. The list in the FCE already does this. Couldn’t this interface item also be used in the project window?

Solo Button

Basically a button/switch to isolate objects with a single click. In opposite to make all other objects invisible an additional solo checkbox next to the visibility checkboxes would make all other object than the objects with this option set to “on” invisible.

Copy and Paste of Keyframes

Select a keyframe in the project window and copy it. Select another object and paste the keyframe. In many cases there are more than one keyframe in the same location. i.e. a keyframe for Position and Reference of a Camera. In order to be able to select the desired keyframe it would be good to introduce a context menu, that lists all keyframes on the selected frame. i.e.

- copy Position
- copy Reference
- copy Color etc.

Set Ease in and Ease out

Right click a keyframe. In the context menu there are options to ease in and ease out the motion. If two keyframes are selected that follow in time, ease-ease is available to ease between them.

Renderama

Job Reordering

Sometimes it is desirable to reorder the job list. The most wanted way would be to just grab a job, and to drag it to the new location within the list.

Display File Names

It would be most desirable to display the name of the file that is currently beeing rendered in addition to the job name. Most job lists are from the same project, so the job name is the same for every render job in the list.

Multiple jobs and slaves selection

To delete.
