Ah post process filter example. That should help the guys who want a motion blur effect. Its good to see some more updates.

Very cool

I want to go check out that QC Eye tool ASAP!

Looks like SP mods will be happy

Oh and that Motion Mapper is actually sounding pretty neat... Things like 3dsmax I believe have that (so let's say you have an animation you made for a tall lanky basketball player, but then you needed the animation for a small stout gnome.. Instead of having to redo the animation you remap it onto the differently proportioned skeleton (which drives anmations) and boom you're done, animations for all models of shapes and sizes

Can anyone explain any of these things please?
