For everyone that doesn't know what's env maps here's an exemple http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh8a7vymAAg
Its a spherical image, that act as a fake environnement for the objects. It helps communicating with the client, or more importantly, help
modelling surfaces by giving a clear visual feedback. It can also be used as a lighthing method. Its been used for a long time in video games.
And now it start to be used in 3d software, like Autodesk Alias Design or Rhino.

Yeah env maps are a big piece of the puzzle.
Using the "edit style" window to assign env maps would be cool :)
Instead of expanding the UI of MoI. Maybe also have a visual indicator of the current env map
assigned in the attribut editor where you have the object name / style and dimensions.

Maybe before coding all this, having the code but not the UI part and using scripts?
I cant really tell if the MoI UI is big or not im on two 24 inch screens at work :P
