The 3D module will be nice, but yeah bug fixes and what not should get a slightly higher priority. At least then people will have stuff to do while waiting for the goodness. If there is decent fall backs in Max3D for shaders, IE 3.0 falls back to 2.0, which falls back to 1.4, which falls back to 1.0, which falls back to fixed function if not supported. The only problem is the fall backs (especially ff) will look absolutely hideous. For instance, add the line -useff to your Halo shortcut. Run the Map 'Silent Cartographer' and look at the water. Now remove the -useff and run the same map.... mhmm nice water ;)
