Contrary to views expressed by some people in this thread, I'm actually looking forward to this! Thanks for the heads-up Coen, really lifted my spirit a little today. The lack of any information on the next release of SU has had me up in arms.

I hope it can manage better very big models. Anyway I can't wait for the new version

Thanks Coen, I wait with baited breath.
Lets hope SU7 has multi-cpu support as well as higher poly count support.

Regard,

Fixing high poly support would probably mean tangling severely with the SU core code.
Since SU nowadays is heavily connected to Google Earth, each modification to the core would have direct consequences to GE.
That makes development more difficult as two pieces of software need to be updated simultaneously.

So my guess is that the new features we will see, will be things 'on top' of the existing program. Maybe some features to make low poly modeling for GE a bit easier: better GE export, slightly improved photomatch....Things like that...

and of course the youtube, facebook

I dont tink theres much point in gettign your hopes up, its nothing major (as coen said.)

I bet it will be limited improvements in...wait for it...wallpaper!

And they will add five or six more tabs to the Styles Window just to make it more cumbersome!

I just bought the subdivide and smooth plugin this week, so I know that Google will announce that they're releasing SU7 with fantastic S+S capabilities.

HA! Consider being on the other end, and slaving over a new script for a few months, only to have it displaced by a new feature (3D Text Tool)!

Except that your tool is way more versatile! I'd buy your 3D text tool, for sure, if I hadn't already.
