If an artist such as myself STUPIDLY moves his textures (when he's tidying up his directories) and Blender can't find them it would be great if there was a visual alert.

On a recent project it wasn't obvious there were missing textures in my scene.

Maybe a giant missing texture sign is drawn on the naked ploys?

When you create a new new mesh primitive it doesn't have any uv coordinates.

It would be a productively boost if you could set a preference to create all new meshes with good uv coordinates. Maybe with each mesh you could choose different mapping styles.

It would be friendlier for beginners as well.

It would be lovely if the empties had a splash of colour -red, green, blue for each axis.

Currently they are black and it can get quite hard to pick them out on complicated scenes.

Probably quicker to identify axis as well.

cheers!

As it's been said many times before it would be great if we could set the filters for individual textures that are displayed in the viewport or Game Engine. For example if you wanted to emulate the look of a PlayStation One game you could use point sampled textures or if you wanted to stop a grass texture getting noisy in the distance you might set if to tri linear mip mapping.

Being able to use different filters in the same viewport would be ace (like Multigen).

cheers
