- Will be 3D. You'll be able to procedurally generate (using signed distance fields*) or reference and rasterize 3D meshes.
- Most nodes (where it makes sense) will take a 3D position input and fall back to 2D if one is not supplied.
- There will be a loop node, with a beginning and end. All nodes will have access to an $iteration variable in their function graphs.
- The in-editor SVG design experience will be closer to a simplified inkscape.
- There will be better SVG support for things like repeating a pattern along a stroke, anti-aliasing, etc.
- Most nodes will be material based, so you can feed for example the Tile Sampler with an entire material rather than a single input. I don't expect this to magically work with Normal Maps.
- It will support and generated multi-channel distance fields for hard angles**.
