Hi Seamless Friends 
I am really happy with this version because now seamless can be fun to use no matter how techy oriented you are, all you have to do is watch
download from:
www.seamless3d.com/download/
Sorry the script interface is still not ready for this version because this feature has been put on hold for a while to allow me to add 2 other pressing features. Fist I wanted to add a Robot help sequencer that would run mouse and key strokes to test and demonstrate seamless3d but in doing so looking at the robot perform the tedious task of adding nodes through layers of menus I thought there has to be a more elegant way which led me to add drag and drop making 2.088 come with 2 new very exciting features
To see the new drag and drop feature being performed by my new robot help simply press:
F10/ help/ build av demo
I will over the coming days write more robot demos including simpler ones and how to use textures and so on
later (after I have got the scripting interface working) I will make the robot help more interactive but for now its exciting just to watch
Also later I will add different sounds for different keys like Alt, Shift, Control, left mouse, right mouse etc to help the user know which key is being pressed for the different actions during a demo. For now note:
When dragging a new node from the new node bar hold no keys down (except for the left mouse button).
When dragging is performed to USE a node keep Alt down. This keeps seamless uniform with the same rules used in windows for the task of dragging a reference of a file to another folder which is quite simular to when we USE nodes (a USEd node is a reference to a node).
When dragging is performed to move a node from one location in the scene tree to another keep Control down.
When dragging is performed to deep copy nodes from one location in the scene tree to another don't hold any keys down (except for the left mouse button) but don't try deep copies with part nodes yet
There are still lots of little loose ends to be completed for seamless but I have uploaded this version because tying up loose ends may take for ever and because I believe this version to be even better than any version so far so why wait
I hope because of the robot being able to help test out seamless's feature seamless should have its own built in quality control making much less likely for me to add new bugs to old features in new versions.
enjoy the movie (though its not a movie the clicks are for real!)
remember to see the movie just press:
F10/ help/ build av demo
I am a very happy bunny ;D

PS many thanks to Gil, Lilly and Miranda for testing out the robot and helping me get the robot to work on non English computers
