Stable 2.57 is on the way;
What are the plans regarding the missing 2.49 features?
For example i would it find great, if the preview render function in 2.49 come back.
For texturing, this is absoltely a must have.There are a lot of other tools missing…
That’s why they are on the todo list, including the preview render function.
Forever lost? Are you kiddin?
All those features are not forgotten, they are just not implemented yet because of the feature freeze. I bet you will see those features come in pretty soon, because after 2.57 release Blender will be a feature magnet for a while
im missing them too
i hope that they come back soon.
While I do miss some features from 2.49 my personal feeling is that their absence is balanced in part by some of the new stuff in 2.5X. It’s reassuring to hear that once 2.57 is released we can look forward to seeing some of our favorites make their way back into Blender.
