Thank you very much for taking the time to post your thoughts in detail. I am especially grateful for your feedback on the level of detail and difficulty -- these are aspects that I often am left guessing at as to how far to go.
As for your ideas for improvements & new features -- the symmetry feature has been suggested before, so that's something I'll have to seriously consider. I don't know if you discovered it, but a primary thought behind the 2D views in the paint studio is to offer some help in this regard (although it is still a manual process). The idea of having multiple models at once in the photo studio has occurred to me as a future feature :) In the meantime -- if you have some photoshop skills, creating multiple screen shots using the same backdrop and settings would allow you to fairly easily compost up a squadron. The cloning off the shelf idea is interesting -- I will stew a bit on that. The export idea is also an interesting one, something, that again, I'll have to give more thought to.
Cheers,
