Need to add export queues to allow user to select objects for export. It would 
be nice if queues persist between sessions, and can be serialised.

Exterior locations and dungeon have several decorative billboards (e.g. trees, 
rocks) and some functional (e.g. NPCs, lights). There are also miscellaneous 3D 
objects in exterior scenes (e.g. fountains, wheelbarrows).

These resources are not currently drawn, but it is planned to add them at a 
later stage, including options to control what types of optional resources are 
rendered.

When zooming into a dungeon scene in top-down camera mode, the higher levels 
need to be aggressively to view lower levels with more accuracy.

This issue is created by views not properly clearing resource cache after a 
change in Arena2 folder.

This issue can also create draw performance issues. If this is experienced, it 
is recommended to close and reopen Daggerfall Modelling.

While draw performance is generally acceptible for a model and scene viewer, 
this could be a lot better.

Scroll speed too high when zoomed deep into a dungeon scene using top-down 
camera mode.

Allow user to enable collision and gravity for exploring scenes. This should 
also have close to game-normal movement speeds.

Mouse picking models needs to have triangle accuracy, particularly in deep 
scenes like dungeons and interiors with lots of containment.

This will also be useful for directly obtaining texture information from models 
in single model view.

Some highly vertical dungeons (e.g. Mantellan Crux) do not have correct 
bounding boxes, causing models to be culled when clearly in view.

This issue is the result of late-loading mesh resources post layout. The newly 
merged bounding boxes created from mesh data are not applied to scene.

This can be resolved by setting bounding box updates to scene.

After export queues have been implemented, a Collada exporter is to be written 
for users to export selected models to Collada format. At this time, support 
for Collada 1.4 is planned.

Climate swaps not applied to dungeons at this time, and sometimes incorrectly 
to exterior scenes. As this does not affect model exporting, it is marked low 
priority.

Allow user to explore content using an XBOX360 controller. This should also 
allow changing between views, picking with a crosshair, and adding models to 
export queues.

Plan to implement some wild card support in search field.

Provide user with more application settings for controlling input sensitivity, 
mouse look inversion, etc.

There is an intermittent issue where mouse velocity is applied when user is not 
moving mouse, or only moved mouse a small amount which results in a high scroll 
velocity.

This issue will be resolved following an overhaul of input methods to remove 
some reliance on form events.
