All the voters: Do you see the problem of the poll? Most of you say that decal management is their second choice. But nobody votes for them. Since soft shadows have enough votes it could be prudent to vote for the second choice. At the moment even 2d-improvements have more votes than decals.

But anyway, I hope that all features will come more or less.

Maybe there should be a new poll with (in particular) "Soft Shadow Shader" and "More Textures & Shadows for Terrain" explained?

vertex weights because its hard to create realistic organic model animation without it

Hi All

Yes I would like "Soft Shadow Shader" for all models, static meshes, terrain, everything..

It would be nice in the GUI if you could control the softness of the shadow.

Well, I see that "Soft Shadow Shader" seems to be winning in the poll. I would have placed that feature last in the list, in fact, that feature probably wouldn't ever be on any of my feature lists. (This bargain PC doesn't even support 'real' shaders and such a feature might be useless for users with similar PC configurations.) Actually, this is expected, I think the majority rarely makes the same choices I would make.

As for all such polls, I assume you are supposed to vote once for each user name you have.

well personally i think adding vertex weights will greatly imporve the quality of models and there animations and that feature will work on all pcs that can run game studio games.

vertex weights is at old old old older request losing in night of the times, inclusive when my log was egf, iclusive before the invection to the "eye candy" shaders, incluse, maybe, before the creation to the mainkin, and the internet porn.

I think what the better opcion is create the vertex weight firts, and before put all jcl&co in create a full range the new shadow system, incluide shadows in terrain, soft shadows, and white russian shadows.

I voted for vertex weights as i think this a very important feature that is missing. At the moment we use vertex animation for our models but it creates very large models.

Anything that could improve performance would also be on my list. Gamestudios performance is good but if there was anything that could be done to improve it (i.e Triangle stripping of models / levels, Occlusion tests etc) then i would like to see some experimentation done there.

2D improvements!
Would be neat if gamestudio would support flash animations, gif animations, jpg, more video modes, maybe some more picture file extensions, rotating/sewing/distorting panels, different button system. I think this has a higher priority than any advanced superduper soft shadowing system or the like.

Basics first.
