I think :
- Improve 2D Curves and curve tools (working with Houdini's curve is awful )...
- Improve Poly-Split SOP to cut along a infinite line like "Quick Slice" in 3dsmax... Sometimes poly-split doesn't works properly in when you set path type to "Edge Loop"
- Add "Connect Selected Points" option to Poly-Split SOP....
- Add a "Show Edge and Half-Edge's Number" ...
- Export camera and nulls to After Effects ...
- Add a "Collapse SOP ": when you want to make a 3d model in Houdini and you don't need that long queue of nodes ...
- Add a new option to "Remesh SOP" that makes quads or triangles ...
- Add a new option to "Transform SOP" : if you create a geometry far from {0,0,0} world coordinate, and add a Transform SOP, by pressing "Move Centroid to origin" it moves that geo to center of Transform SOP, but I need to move the Transform SOP to the geo's location.
- Ability to "Zoom In/Out" in Camera viewport without changing camera's transform.
- In an Orthographic viewport (Top,Left,Right ..), Ability to rotate view around the view center ((like Alt + middle mouse button in 3dsmax).).
- Add a "Place Hotspot" tool to lights , to quickly adjust light's direction.
- Add a "Polygonal Lasso Tool" selection, like photo shop "Polygonal Lasso Tool" ...
- Add a selection list option in " File/Merge", to filter contents that you need to merge in current scene...
- In "File/Import/Export", ability to Import/Export selected objects...
- A way to selecting primitives that are between two other primitives. Currently I hide other primitives to select such a primitives.(and again in 3dsmax you can simply click several times on polygons and it selects such polygons)...
- Ability to changing object's opacity in viewport...
- Add a "Refresh folder" button to all file browsers … and show images bigger, in image browser
- Add "Render time of last frame", in render viewport (render sequence).
- Add file extension automatically(based on selected extension) to file name, when you forget to type the extension.
- Ability to lock a node as "last node" in network view.( this node always will be the final node) .
long list huh? ....
