One of the cool new tools in V6 is the 'Snap' tool . Ever tried to place a sphere _exactly_ on a floor ? Place - render - move - render - ...
The new 'Snap' Tool use advanced options (like the 'Packer' tool) to place and snap objects to their exact-exact user- specified locations . (default should be 'Surface' though , not 'BBox') It's in the 'Misc Tools' Window . Drag&Drop it into your 'View Properties Window' for easy access . cheers studio P.S. testers : The new toolbar is great for many things . However , when we create a camera backdrop the choices of material/image/ illumination is very nice , except it is really material/ image/_color_ . (like in V5) The color selected is actually transferred to the illum- ination channel in order to remove possible lighting con- flicts , but is still a color choice , so illumination _might_ confuse some new users into thinking it is illu- mination for the materials/images/ .
