But we need Exporters to support that new stuff!
Its a shame having that new version but being limited to setup materials with Indigo GUI.
I would love to try double sided mats with some of the foliage in my scenes, and also to save that work back into that scene.

Maybe Exporter Devs could get some head-start regarding the new materials etc. so testing immediate testing could be done by everybody interested :)
