1. Ability to put dividers in the control area, to divide up the functions.

2. Movable windows, so we can arrange the preview window and controls, for better functionality and screen use.

3. Have tabs along the top to allow for render options, Color, Bump, etc.
it would be nice to be able to switch between them without the hassle.

GUI functionality is old needs to be Modernized... Really. Bad..


Thanks

+1 for the dividers. Currently I use checkboxes and "---" to seperate sections in the filter controls.

Yes, I also agree. It is a lot of time that I'm going on saying that if we could put in better order the controls, we would also succeed to do a better use of the filters.

To create a "fake" divider, the control name might look like this:

----Smooth Section----

Note that smooth section would be some kind of control, if it is a checkbox this is even a better divider. FWIW.

YES, I totally agree that it would be really helpful and useful to have a divider for the filter control settings, so then you can divide it in groups and specify and name the settings that belong to some specific function or feature

Well you can see some of the filters I have done and availablw on the library, that already have this fake dividing using checkbox component or another that will let you write on them, and they must be connected to the flow of the filter so they are shown on the settings

i have choosen to use the checkbox component because is the one that may be less confusing to the user, and know that this is NOT really a real setting, and is only a text divider, also to avoid confusing more to the user, you can seaparate even more the divider

Put 3 lines instead of only one using 3 checkbox

----- text ------
------------------

To be able to have to multiple checkbox used as fake divider attached to the filter I have used switch component

Also a Request is to have Filter Render Controls more accessible instead of going to the menu bar and select Filter, Render Maps, Normal Map..

We need Tabs Like This in Lightwave Modeler, and maybe separate panels, movable and sizable..
