"Make it easier to save/load information (skin weights, anim curves, etc): Ten years on we have the same save skin weights tool that make IFF files. The first thing every company has to do is write a weights saver and remapper. The next is an animation curve saver, and they rarely work with layers. There are other examples, the main point is that we would like to be able to save/load data, this was understood back a decade ago when the original animation and skin weight saving systems were written, it's time for an update. 🙂"
