Mr. Blaquiere You is wrong, it aint that way, be carefull. Mike
OK Dave I will make sure, We have a solution much better than a hot button. Mike
FONT OBJECTS
Message #62623
Jim, Sorry it does not work in 2.0, unlike the Amiga fonts are a bit different on the PC, in 3.0 however we have exstensive support for PS fonts and EPS files so you will indeed be able to use this feature. Mike
Peter, Indeed a spline editor That would be intersting to look at, maybe if you have time you could direct me to it so that I can DL it and take a look. We are however very cautious about using other software that we dont have a very firm contract…
David. I am sure you did the right thing, and if for any reason the distributor does not perform as promised, please feel free to call upon me for help in these matters. I look forward to hear what you think of Imagine and stand ready to help in any…

Imagine Textures
Message #62373
TO all Imagine users. Just a quick note or update if you will. Find herein a Partial list of some of the new textures that will be shipped with Imagine 3.0 This is a "PARTIAL" list and meant only for you users to get a better feel for some of…
Tony, You know I think that I understand better what you want, you dont want flares you want a light atmospheric dispersion technique that we have been working on for the last two years, We are almost there, it will do what you want and it wont look like flares…
Tony, At last a breath of sanity. But in reality Flares are cool, but they have only been seen in a couple of situations and we would like to go beyond this obvious use of this technique. We will most likey offer this but as you say not at the…
Ok Vance, Particles could do just as you stated, I encourage you to go beyond what you have seen in the movies, dont imitate, create your own new looks. Mike
I am truly amazed at the amount of bull shit that people seem to feel the need to spread. Imagine is worked on each and every day, we hope to get the software out as soon as we can. I can not give you a specific day, no one could…
Steve, Imagine is already optimized for the 040, some fat head has started a ridiculous rumor that we had not done this on the first release of Imagine. We realize that you want to go as fast as you can. At the sake of sounding like sour grapes, there are…
David. In order to buy Imagine for the PC please call Amiga Oberland, they distribute the software in Germany. I must appologize that I dont have thier phone number at this moment, However I am sure that they are listed in the magazines that you read. If you cant find…
Billy, Yes it will have ground plane detection. If you want object item detection then you will have to wait for a long time for each frame to render. We have found a way to do detection so that it will not slow the rendering process down.

Message #62365
Mr. Roth… The value of running from another OS other than DOS is possibly a good idea but it inhibits the power of the machine. Imagine is 32 bit and needs all the power it can. We understand that OS2 is 32 bit, so Imagine "SHOULD" run, but we have…
AH…. Dongles, well I suppose that they do indeed keep software threat to a minimum, but they are in most cases not worth the effort, it seems what man can conjure man can conqure… Who said that, maybe I did. Objects, yeah there will be some more new ones, Hope…
#Forgotten again!
Message #61983
Due to the many things that we are adding, things like blurring will probably be left to the last or be in a update. To do it right takes just to much cpu time. We dont want to make it look like some one elses code. I suggest that using…
#Forgotten again!
Message #61821
GEEZ Batman another request for the overtly obvious, Can they shut up the toaster folks, do they want to, well you might ask, but they seem not to be that concerened, after all those flares are only going to be on everything and who would want that sort of stuff.…
#Forgotten again!
Message #61651
Peter, Ok, so far to date we have sold in one form or another over 140,000 copies of Imagine and Silver software. This encompasses 6 years of devlopment and several upgrades. The worst part is that we are also very sure that there are that many if not twice that…
The amount of users, not to sound absurd, but might I ask why you would like to know this information. Not that it is all that secret but I am interested in how you would use these figures. SO if you have the time, please drop me a note and…
Forgotten again!
Message #61384
Alas he who is hasty can end up with mouse droppings. Or at least thats what I have heard. When you decide to get the 486 66mhz let me know I might be able to help in some minor way. I truly hope that you will be able to get…
We just mailed the newsletter, I dont think that you have been forgotten. There will be the same support as we now have for the present Opal Vision from Centaur I think that the board does not lend itself to a refresh like the FC24, I know that you will…

Message #60850
Anthony, Thanks for your note. Rest at ease we are doing things with maps that will make your life eaiser. Mike
Maps and Fields
Message #60849
Charles I appreciate your concern and have forwarded your concerns to the right people. We have done with mapping as it is because we never felt that anyone would want to use a lower res image as a map, guess we were wrong. I use native 24 bit maps, they…
#PC Imagine
Message #60847
Peter Yes the PC and Amiga version can be yours at the same time for the pittance of $100 per version. We see no delay at this time on either version. Thanks for your concern Mike
#PC Imagine
Message #60845
Ralph, Sorry, I should have done a better job, Both the Amiga and PC version will be released at the same time. Mike

Message #57639
To All Regarding Impulse and its data base. I am sorry that some of you seem to have fallen through the cracks in the past we have found several people who have tried to get on the list by improper means. I suppose the mear fact that you are asking…

Charles Thanks for your message, it was long and I feel as though I should respond in kind but to the point, OK we will put it back in, Hows that? Mike

#Imagine 3.0
Message #56906
Steve Not a bad idea, but we kind of like keeping some things a secret for a bit longer. The next newsletter that should be going out this month will detail the majority of the new features. I say "majority" we will probably be making changes even up to the…
#Lights in 3.0
Message #56621
I enjoy dropping by, seems however that I just don't have as much time as I would like to have to do so. As for your question, we have put in several new types of lighting in Imagine 3.0. Soft edge lights as well as shadows that as you have…
#Arexx and the like
Message #55963
The features that you write about have already been addressed in Imagine 3.0. Of course there are more possible situations and programs that could be developed but I must admit that your thought about people asking stupid questions is not our concern. Our concern is having the time to answer…
#IMAGINE REQUESTS
Message #55895
TO all The following things were suggested for addition to Imagine. There seems to be a prevailing thread that Impulse is not interested in adding features that you want or that we are not listening. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are just a bit quiter than other…
#Imagine PC and 3.0
Message #55524
TO ALL From Mike Halvorson Subject IMAGINE for the PC Sorry guys for the mix ups with your different system configs, DOS 6 sort of took us by surprise, we were told that we should have no problems, right! THey have been addressed and fixed and if you are running…
