Well, I really doubt that WP will change their minds. I just saw them dump out of another market. They did have a Unix version for Intergraph Workstations. Only thing I saw really impressive about it was it's network support. The interface was very primitive, no pull down menus, etc..…
I don't doubt that the Windows version of WP is impressive, but lets just say I have a 286, Amiga 2000(030 based), 3000, and 1000. I'm not impressed with Windows either. It's too slow for the 286, and I really don't want to upgrade to a 386 just to run…
All I have to say is no great loss. Seriously, I don't own the Amiga version of WP, but I have seen it on a friends computer. I am not impressed and really not impressed with the IBM version for that matter. Sure, it has plenty of features, but with…
I don't know about that. I ordered mine on June 1st, and a friend 2 week before that. Both of us are till waiting and the dealer just keeps saying "I don't know when". About 2 weeks ago they told us over the phone that it could take another 2…
Makes sense. I think our dealer orders on demand. They did have about 10 in before the powerup, but they had a special sale going on and sold them all. I guess it's just a matter of the powerup programming doing better for CBM then they ever expected. Just hope…
Oh, go jump into a creek or something!! (just joking). You must have gotten the 16 Mhz or the 100 meg version? A friend of mine picked up a 16 Mhz the same day back in June. But now the dealer has none except for the demo units. They did…
Hey, who's your friend? Sounds like someone I know. Mine has been on order for 1 1/2 months now and I also have a few grand tied up. Last word I heard from the dealer was it could take another 2 months cause CBM was gonna ship them with 2.0…
Well, I'm in Honolulu as well(Pearl City), and having been waiting on my A3000-25/50 since the end of may. The 25 Mhz seems to be the one in shortage, but what really gets me as as the time drags on this dealer is drawing interest off of my pre-payment(didn't have…
Is the 3000 set up with 2 megs of chip ram. If so that could be the reason. I'm running Imagine on a GVP 030 at 28 Mhz and it seems to move pretty good. I even tried the non-FPU version on a stock Amiga and it wasn't as slow…
Just to add another hint to this problem. If you hit the mouse buttom like I have and then try to hit ESCAPE nothing happens. This is because the project window(behind the picture) has to be the active window for ESCAPE to work. I either pop the view window to…
Thanks, I'll be sure to add Vista Pro to my list. Getting back to the origional subject. As you said I overlooked that one sentence and got it to work. The only other area I had problems with was with IFF brush wrapping. I imported a picture of ZZ TOP…
Yea, I got most of the way through the tutorials then tossed the book to the side at the last one. Though I didn't do that one, reading it over helped me understand Make Path etc.. I've seen Vista, but not Vista Pro. Is it worth the extra money? Tim..
Sounds pretty interesting. I would do my renderings at night but I run UUCP in the early morning and it has a habit of locking the Amiga up. Rendering with 030/FPU does make it a bit better though. I can let it go while I'm at work. Hmm, getting close…
Aahh, so that's the problem. That thought jumped into my mind but got lost I guess. Kinda makes more sense though that the object must actually be through the plane to slice it. Thanks! Glass, Mirror. Hmm, I'm still seeing what I can do with the object editors. Perhaps I'll…
#Slice Command
Message #20260
In playing with Imagine 1.0 I have had no luck getting the slice command to work. I'm mainly referring to Tutorial 2(Page 33). After doing the slice and waiting for the cancel gadget to disappear I have still have the same thing. I think I understand how slice is suppose…
So far so good. Just wish I had more time during the week to sit down and tackle the whole thing. You can't even compare Imagine to TS as far as interface goes. Imagine looks like it was made with the user in mind. Hope you get yours soon so…
Well, I've been playing with it as much as I can this week(if I'm late to work another day I don't know what will happen). I put myself in the intermediate class as far as 3D design/rendering goes. I've only just begone (sp) to dig into the features of Imagine.…
Great! If you get a chance look me up. I'm over in Aiea. My home phone is 487-0547. Take it easy.
Looks like you should see yours this week. I just got mine yesterday and after playing around with it for a bit(like all night) things are really fuzy about the whole credit card deal. Tim..
It's Here!!
Message #19144
Well, Imagine is here. It arrive in my mail box this morning. It's version 9 and a reference manual(Written by Rick). There is also a letter stating that we should receive another disk with version 1.0 and a turorial guide within about 3 weeks or so. Some new features will…
The island I live on is Oahu(The most populated). This is the island that Honolulu and Wakiki is on as well as where Pearl Harbor is. I live is Aiea which is like a stone throw from Pearl Harbor. Actually anywhere on this island is a stone throw from Pearl.…
Well, staying off the subject(which I'm sure they don't mind around now). The Hawaii Amiga situation is pretty good. I myself own an Amiga 2000 souped up with a GVP 030, and a few others I know have put some money into their systems. The bigest problem here, is there…
Nothing in the mail out this way(Hawaii) thought my Visa was charged almost 1 month ago. Hopefully Imagine will help me forget this fact, but it's gonna have to arrive soon to do that.
