Hehe, I accidentally read the first three words as “Blender uses wonder” and the rest of the sentence made no sense.

Now to request wonder x 2.

great ideer, i Think letting users and devs comunicate with each other, can bring about a better blender. nurbs could be improved take a look at rhino, I would like to see macro recording alla zbrush and maybe multi user so you can built together or teach through the web.

Strange that there are always comments that Blender doesn’t ‘need’ NURBS. I think that is just plain ignorant.

@pinhead_66 it’s probably the type of interface that has been proposed…

funny how ‘new user interface’ is at minus 3 :)

When you create a request, it should be obvious when you write the new idea. After writing the new title you should be presented a list with possibly similar submissions. It is of course up to you, the user, to make sure it is not already submitted.

Naturally, we’ll have more moderators (developers, and users that show commitment) that regularly tend to the idea pool – mark out duplicates, merge them etc. Normal users should be able to earmark such ideas too, but I just noticed a bug with the code. When I have it fixed, you should be possible to do so too, and moderators can then either merge or discard such reports.

@innactpro:
That’s why we vote for requests; if there are two hundred votes for one request, it’s popular. But if there are three versions of the same request, resulting in a ninety/seventy-five/thirty-five vote split, that request no longer rides the top of the list. Not to mention, that would be disorganized. But this is only my limited perspective, and as I said, it’s nice to have a place to make these requests.

“The only thing I’m not sure about is how quickly duplicate requests will pile up.”

Isn’t that the point of this new site, for the developers to see which are the most requested features.

The only thing I’m not sure about is how quickly duplicate requests will pile up. The list is already long — some people aren’t going to read every post. Same time, it’s nice to have a place to request features.

@ByronK:
It’s possible to set Blender’s camera angle to greater than 360 degrees. However, the lens setting ceases to be accurate well before the 172.847 degree max setting… so I don’t know how much use that would be to an animator who needs precise control.
