The ability to select one or multiple instances and replace them with a different model. Example use case: you scatter 3D people over a large surface. Then you animate a camera flying through the crowd. You want to select one 3D person and replace...

It's strange that transparency also hides image information in the auxiliary channels and that the user has to remove it in order to use it. For example, the Glare channel. I rendered an animation of an object with a glow spreading along its edges...

The sharpening function of the frame buffer works very badly, it produces strange halos. It would be nice if the sharpening would produce clean results like in Photoshop. Why sharpen? Sharpening with a large radius (e.g. 50) with low intensity imp...

As the title says, a way to copy / paste layer masks from one layer or folder to the other.

Right now if you put a no renderable geometry in chaos scatter it will be rendered, what we need is to be able to do so in order to make some advanced scatter effects just like itoo allows. Also more distribution options would be a great addition.

For those with a library of Maya V-Ray shaders (which may use vray-specific features), it would be nice to be able to apply a material override to the USD models and assign the native maya-vray shaders, so vray knows to ignore the USD's models sha...

There are some assets that comes with a lot of scatter objects and its very frustrating having to convert each one of them to max geometry, as current version doesnt have an option to do it automatically. Sometimes theres a need to convert to geom...

When rendering 360° panoramas of complex interiors, it would be helpful if you could start the rendering first and then still define the regions to be rendered. Currently, I have to start the rendering and wait some time until the complex scene ha...

The ability to choose cameras from a pulldown on the vfb, and have the vfb/ipr lock to the selected camera. Default "active." I believe max has the "lock" to camera which I've used before however I end up losing track of it because its somewhat ab...

If there is a brush function or a function similar to the PS pen tool, you can customize the range of masks, and even make some gradient masks, which would be very convenient
