Hey guys! Just compiling a list of suggestions as I work with EmberGen. In absolutely no particular order:
- Recent files list and memory of the last file location opened so it doesn’t always start in c:\embergen every time I start the program.
- Ability to modify the default preset. It’s a great jumping off point but there are multiple things I always change immediately upon starting a new preset, based on what I’m creating.
- The ability to drag a box around multiple keyframes in the timeline to select multiple at once.
- Enable Shift-click to select multiple keyframes (currently ctrl-click)
- Click on a property in the node panel to focus it in the timeline
- The ability to have two (or more!) node panels visible at once to enable rapid flipping between parameters.
- Tab labels across the top of node panel to quickly access different sections at a glance instead of having to scroll to find the section you want. (sim, dissipation, vorticity, etc)
- Mousewheel should scroll more than 1 line per tick. Should be much quicker to navigate through panels.
- Ability to click+drag middle mouse to scroll node panels up and down just like Timeline and Node tree.
- Attenuation on forces to control the affected distance.
- The ability to click and drag inside text fields.
- XYZ scale parameters for all primitive shapes.
- Embergen still uses about 80% GPU resources when the sim is paused (no idea if it’s technically possible to drop this down unless it’s minimized)
