    But I think that is the philosophy arround here! IMHO, it was for Be.

    YES! It is a recipe for success!

    Be careful! FULL skinning support *may* be dangerous for R2! because
app_server developers aren't THAT experinced and also none of us doesn't
know OpenGL yet. I'm NOT saying it can't be done, it's just that it *may*
work slow.

    I definetly think R2 should have a different look, but it is R3 that
should have FULL skinning support, I think. Give us some time to accomodate
and deeply understand OpenGL. I know some DirectX programming, OpenGL is not
so different, but under no circumstance I don't want to have surprises when
implementing full skinning support for R2!
