The derived version works well, but i'm leery of those icons. Yuk!

Would be great if the light editor would draw where the light source is in relation to the model, using the XYZ we enter. I love the fact that i can adjust the color right there!

Would you be able move the mouse input methods to a class/subclass that can be accessed from a plugin in an upcoming version? Or does Java not allow the mouse actions to be a variable, for lack of a better word?

I think i may be able to develop a plugin to answer some of my own wishes. After looking thru the classes, i'm looking for one in particular -- the keyboard shortcuts and mouse inputs for various actions in SH3D.

What is the package i would be working with? (Is there even one that can be ...

I hate the learning curve of most 3D programs, as they have a lot of features (and the accompanying GUI) that i dont use. Blender is the worst of the free ones, but AoI is the easiest. It's still a little hard to get used to, but it has a simple interface (altho no support).

This is a wonderful intermediate workaround until we get a standard feature in SH3D (as I wished for here). I intend to be using this alot, and hope you keep perfecting it! [B-)]

Unlit Textures
I would love to be able to flag any texture of a surface or in a material as "unlit" — that is, unaffected by the lighting algorithm and showing at its normal brightness in the 3D View.

I need this feature to show TV screens, elevator buttons, and appliance readouts that are lit ...
