I think you should be careful to not get /too/ excited with the
content of these types of marketing PDFs...
it's the integration part inside an application where 99% of the
problem is. Based on my personal experience, this type of GUI lib
is probably easiest to integrate in an application that doesn't do
rendering yet, and doesn't already have a graph GUI. My guess,
personally, is that none of the commercial application will
actually integrate it in their GUI, but might look at it as a
reference implementation. (It looks like it will run as a
standalone app.)
I think you shouldn't loose faith in the render tree, because we
will have enhancements for it in the future.

thought i might highlight a part of the mental mill pdf thomas
linked us to...
"Render Preview window: A preview window provides interactive
feedback to users as they build
shader graphs and edit shader parameters."
this is in the section that discusses whats available to
third-parties with mental mill GUI library...shader ball anyone?
just a page down you see some images of the phenomena editor
and it has node previews!
the mental mill GUI library pretty much outlines stuff we
already have and stuff we desire in the rendertree, i think
the topic should actually read... the future of RenderTree?

a question for softimage devs i am hoping will be answered
when it is released... will we see it at all in XSI?
(refering to the extended ability mental mill will provide)
not concernd when it will be, but rather if it will be
available at all inside XSI?
