michael We have removed the Inverse Kinnematics as well as the Cycle Editor from Imagine, also the states function has been removed. Other wise the code is the same. Imagine runs just fine on the P90 (IMAGINE L/T) I think you will find no problems. Mike

Aaron Good What did you want me to do, I am not sure. I would find the guy who stiffed you and bounce his head of the conrete. Other than that, I am not sure what you want us to do. So be specific. Mike

Blaq Scott is the wrong Guy. dont know why you assumed he did this, it was done by Zaxk the main programmer, never the less, I have run about 10000 ideas this way and as yet we have not hit on one that will work, thanks for yours. Mike

Mike I appreciate you for being a customer and supporting our efforts, not everyone like our "laid back" or less than "professional" approach, it sends a message to some that we dont care, when nothing could be further from the truth. As for being a member of the Constant Upgarde,…

Tim I have discussed this very matter with Zack, the head programmer, we have beat each other over the head with the pros and cons., I think that reflections should be blurrable, and focasable, (both words are mine, so dont use them anywhere else, I am sure they are misspelled)…

Blaq The altitude problem while a real pain in the arse, is not a bug, we have know about it from the point at which we put Altitude mapping in the software, the problem is this, in order to gain some form of level ground, there is a one pixel…
From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse January 16, 1995 5:07 PM
Blaq, The reality of the situation is that "one machine, one copy of the software" however I think that is possibly stretching the issue, you are a valued customer and as such there would be no repercussions due to using the code on a work machine and then on the…
From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse January 13, 1995 7:07 PM
Mark Final constant update will be 4.0 and 4.0 will not be windows, that is another program. I think the next release of the software should be out in about 2 weeks but dont quote me on that, seems I think everything takes two weeks no matter how long it…

Tim I think you should post objects where ever you feel they will do the most good, as for duplication of placement, I think that CIS has some feelings on that but I for one think you should post your work all over the place., Good is as Good does.…

From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse January 4, 1995 8:54 PM
Sam I might also add that the software will be in Win32S and it will use WIN-G code, so I dont know if it will work properly under OS2, I will check into for you but I make no promises. Mike
From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse January 3, 1995 4:47 PM
Sam No more BS but we are doing a Windows version not OS2, sorry but that is where the greatest mass is and as much as I hate to admit it, this is about business, not just preferences, we are real happy with any of this PC stuff, but such…

Danny Of course you can return the software, and as such we are sorry that the people at ATI have decided once again to offere a product that does not follow the vesa standards, while the card may work fine in Windows, this is because it has a set of…

Fred The slc based cpu does not have a co processor and it needs one to run Imagine. We have had a few problems in this vain, so I guess the best thing to do is run it on the other computer that has no problems. I must admit in…

Rick To go from 2.0 to 3.0 is $100.00 To get on the Constant update, costs $100.00 and you must be registered with Imagine 3.0. So the total cost to go from 2.0 to 3.0 and constant upgrade is $200.00 Mike

MIke I doubt that anyone but me can make comment so I dont know how much you will accept my biased opinion. It is simple to make an object, and apple might take a few minutes a car, if you want it to look GREAT would take one hour or…

From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse October 1, 1994 8:40 PM
The only main differences are: No states, bones, constraints, no Cycle editor, no Kinnematics. THere are a few things which new users will find valuable, such as a properties requester so you dont have to fiddle with making the object set up to look like certain things, ie, click on…

From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · New Anim. Vendors September 11, 1994 8:52 PM
Chad, From my knowledge there are none, there are only a few tutorials that will help you with a specific function. You might buy David Dubermans book called the Imagine Companion, we have them for sale for $25.00. There is also a book called 3D Modeling Lab, from the Waite…

From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse September 6, 1994 8:30 PM
Andrey, Thanks for your suggestion, I will take it under advisement, I doubt that it will make it in the next few revs of Imagine, we have several new features that I am sure you will want more. Never-the-less I appreciate you comments, thanks and keep up the good work.…

Bernie Well said, now I gotta go read it again. I think you have hit on several good ideas, and like you we want the software to be eaiser to use. The changes for the textures is planned real soon, its a real drag to GUESS what is going to…

Tony I think we will wait until 4.0 windows is STABLE, it has been held back and I am not sure of a release date. When 4.0 make users happy and us not nervous, we will indeed make a port for 4.0 but we arent going to hurry just so…
From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse August 26, 1994 7:41 PM
Adam, No no no, your comments are fine, I just want and need people to be very specific. I think many users seem to think that they have to be offensive to a vendor to get attention, in some cases this may be true, but not in our case. This…
From: IMPULSE Animation Vendor A Forum · Impulse August 25, 1994 4:48 PM
Tony I seldom get involved in the QandA thing when it comes to a users question of what is better. I have however read your comments and I want to thank you. I have been using and designing Imagine for 8 years now. From time to time I must admit…
