Can we please have these 3d programming commands considered:

after calling RayPick():
normx.f = PickNormalX()
normy.f = PickNormalY()
normz.f = PickNormalZ()

to do rag-doll entities or other "manual animation":
EntitySetBonePitch(#Entity, Bone$, Pitch)
EntitySetBoneRoll(#Entity, Bone$, Roll)
EntitySetBoneYaw(#Entity, Bone$, Yaw)
EntitySetBoneX(#Entity, Bone$, X)
EntitySetBoneY(#Entity, Bone$, Y)
EntitySetBoneZ(#Entity, Bone$, Z)

to play correct sound effect based on material type (i.e. brick, metal, glass etc.) - to do so we need to know either material texture name (in case of GetScriptMaterial()) or TextureID() in situations when material was created in PB:
texture_id = GetMaterialTextureID(#Material, [Layer])
texture_name$ = GetMaterialTextureName(#Material, [Layer])

3D library looks more and more appealing to game developers and I'm currently thinking of rewriting my FPS engine in PB
Hopefully we can have at least some of these commands (preferably pick normals) in PB sooner than later, I can't see any good quality 3D games made without these commands. Thanks very much.

Thanks for your constructive input, we will look at it.

Thanks Fred, I appreciate your time.
