 +===== Item Placement =====

 +===== Motion Path Visualiser =====

 +A custom object that's attached to an item and will display the motion path of the item.

 +
 +===== Mixer / Composite Node =====
 +
 +Differently from our mixer node, which allows just two inputs, this one can have infinite inputs. Each one has its mask, and can have different % value and blending mode. BTW in second image you have just two inputs, but you can add as many as you need. 
 +Basically it's same layer system as Photoshop. This would really help in keeping nodeflows compact, atm if we need to mix a lot of texture we have to blend two, then ad another mixer with third one, then another, etc. - and flow becomes quite complex.
