standalone studio with material workshop would still be best choice IMO, for any 3DCC app...
but yeah, i know,
users are to bubbly to close one app and start another (or to be using two at the same time, browser is another story)...
it's a burst, pop & a mental breakdown !!!
maybe OS Desktop UI should work with tabs... and no one would ever have the feeling of leaving an app
... just mind blowing :p
