Great! Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback.

I hope you didn't take offense to my comment about not finding OpenSpace3D easy to pick up. I don't think this is the fault of the software. This is mainly due to time I have available, and unlike the Blender community, lets just say it's a little harder to find resources/tutorials to help new users get through the basics in OpenSpace3D.
That's all... hopefully over time this will get better.

This is what brought me here to ask about the book. Thank you for the links. It's very helpful.

I agree... it would be great to hear from other uses, and get their comments too.
Thanks again,
Moris

Hi there,
Just getting used to OpenSpace3D, and I had a few thoughts on UI and workflow.
First off, I would just like to say how much I'm enjoying the program.

Here are some ideas:

-a persistent parameters panel on the side, or a floating one that updates based on what you have selected. This instead of having to double click on a node every time you want to see or do anything. It's a little frustrating not knowing what parameters a node has until you double click and clutter up the screen.
Maybe have a  few tabs like the Scene tree panel o the left. That way you can have a Object panel with parameters for repositioning, scaling and lighting, what not. Another tab for Scene parameters, and another for node parameters.

-A few default primitives would be nice. Just the usual... cube, cone, torus, cylinder. Instead of having to import these things from somewhere else.

-Scene (node) panel seems to be pivoted/locked in the upper left corner when zoomng and there's no ability to pan. I would be nice to free up this panel a little. So you have the ability to freely pan and position where  you like, and maybe zoom based on the mouse position. I like the snap dots.

That's it for now I think. I like this engine and hope to see it progress.
Thank you for you time.
