Dev:Ref/Proposals/UI/Redesign of the Modifiers Panel
Redesign of the Modifier Panel
I took the liberty of posting here, a proposal made by Cole Reed in 2010.
I think its still a great idea to combine the physics and modifiers for a unified "pipeline", as is proposed here
also, it would be a great opportunity to separate the hair and particle systems into separate modifiers, eliminating unnecessary panels displayed in either system.
