All requests and remarks posted on this blog, have been shared with the developers of the concerning products. The Feature Requests blog is my independent way of sharing, and recording both ideas and annoyance about software. Improvement is the main goal.

Layer Aliases / Layer Instances

How great would it be to have the ability to create Aliases (or Instances) of Layers?

These Layers (with the name Italized) should dynamically reflect the exact RGBA content of their original.

Would save a lot of copying, expressions etc. And would be a nice hybrid of node based and layer based compositing.

On demand update expressions/dynamics for a certain frame

A setting to only calculate the new positions as if the animation was played from 00:00.I understand that this will take a lot of time, so maybe it should be a setting to stop all calculation, and a manual request for calculation on a certain frame.

 

The recalculation of dynamics and expressions while timeline scrubbing is spectacular, but most of the time not useful.

C4d: scale factor for Background images

 When modelling a complex model, broken up in parts, with each their own background as a reference, we should be able to set the same scale factor for all these backgrounds, even when the image sizes are not the same.


Unfortunately, C4d relates to the image size rather that the scale. I would like to add a scale factor for background images, in a way that multiple images (that originally have the same scale) can be scaled at the same factor.

Logic Pro X: Better UI for Channel EQ

 In the Channel EQ, sometimes it is hard to select the right colored dot to manipulate a notch. Especially when the curves overlap.


Wouldn't it be nice when all manipulation could be done while the mouse pointer is on the selection buttons on the top?


Drag up/down for dB, drag left/right for Hz and Alt-drag for Q?

Kind of like a virtual slider.

Cinema 4d Fit to Sibling, Fit to Geometry for Deformers

Deformers have a button 'Fit to Parent', which copies the dimensions of the Deformer's parent to the deformer's dimensions, so it exactly fits the geometry that it is going to deform.

 

Deformer can also work next to the geometry, on the same hierarchy level. But in that case 'Fit to Parent' makes no sense, and doesn’t work. In that case 'Fit to Sibling' (sibling = bother/sister) should be nice.  Or better - an intelligent function that is called 'Fit to Geometry', which fits the Deformer to the affected geometry in all cases.
