<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Thanks for getting this rolled out to us Alan. I've been using 5.3.0 and once I resolved my white font issue it's been a real pleasure to use. It feels a lot more polished -- even some of the defaults
lighting and rendering settings seem a bit "prettier" (I'm sure the color map gurus loathe that). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Definitely a lot of noticeable and useful improvements here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><br>
Please feel free to pass the message onto the rest of the team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
