Yeah... my favorite feature is that it's got the most incredible, powerful texture editor... you can basically plug in any mathematical formulas you want into a bunch of shader blocks which determine the color, emissivity, opacity, bumpiness, etc. of your model's surface, and even tweak those on a per-triangle or per-vertex basis via texture parameters!
Which explains why I so desperately want to be able to export AoI models to .X format... currently only the 2D textures will export, but the 3D ones are way better!
Another idea I had for a plugin would be one that takes all the objects in the scene, combines them into one via AoI's boolean or CSG operations, and merges the textures as well (since AoI supports only one texture per model, but you can have multiple layers of texture each with its own opacity map, you should be able to "fake" multiple textures
)
That way you could actually generate a single mesh and a single bitmap file out of some whole complex spaceship model or something built out of dozens of parts - i.e. modelled like in DoGA!
