That's not a bad idea, although most of those analysis pages are just links to software (no actual analysis) and many of them are IMO irrelevant to Blender at the moment. The rigging page is interesting: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Competitor_Analysis/Animation_And_Rigging I think that'd be a nice place to begin. I could write a long list of things Blender needs to compete, CA-wise (although the Durian team is knocking items off my wishlist daily, and features like Bone Heat Weighting are head-of-the-class). I'd like to see Blender have the ability to oust Maya in the future, and Modo's recent introduction of rigging tools paints an interesting path to accomplish a lot of what I want. I can elaborate if anyone's interested. ~ C _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
