Thanks Michael, that's quite an impressive list of new features. Love it.

I also read that FBX can export vertex colors by setting:
[FBX Export]
WriteVertexColors=y

That's also very useful for exporting to Zbrush.

I'll be frequenting the MoI forum again too, also something I missed. I was occupied by being a Technical Artist for the Blender Foundation over here in the Netherlands, but that has now ended.
