Here is a bug that really gets me:

  The "no ram" and similar windows that have the front back gadget.  When
you click it the program hangs (you cant get it back to press "ok").  Theres
probably a key sequence to bring it back in front in work bench.

  Another bug: when I was compiling my first animation, all went well but
I couldnt load it and had no idea why.  There was no message to inform me
that the anim was too large, so the HD will go off for a while, and nothing.

Suggestion:
  How about a way to view each object (via amiga-n) through a light source?


PS: My shipment didn't come with any zerox to explain the textures and effects,
and I was trying to explode a sphere (primitive). Well, I called up and after
insisting that I'm pressing return after each entry I ask him if perhaps some
objects won't explode.  
    He says all will explode.  Even primitives? Yes even primitives.  Well,
I finally got the doc on the effects and it explicitly says the sphere wont
explode (after a lot of frustration).

This is my first 3d package, so the doc is the largest bug.  Gee, for ~$240
I want a woman to emerge from a bowl of jello.  At least a book with useful
comparisons of spin,sweep, etc.

Anyway, could someone email me how to make a glass object?  Ive been trying,
but the object is never transparent (surely something really stupi)
I would surely appreciate it!
