Hmmm… I'm confused. I thought the constant upgrade program was for incremental FEATURE enhancements. Your e-mail sort-of sounds like we need to be on this program to get BUG fixes. What's the story on getting a bug fix release? Jeff
#Objs disappear in stage
Message #83962
I have Imagine 3.0 for Amiga. If I have a ground object, and other objects on top of the ground, not intersecting the ground. When the perspective window is set in SHADED (or the other hidden line removal mode) the objects on top of the ground in the perspective window…
Mike, I figured out the problem. There seems to be a minor glitch: On the Amiga, if I bring an object into the stage and set a state in which the bones have 'bent' the original object. The bones show up in the correct locations, but the object skin is…
I apologize, The file has been marked for deletion and I will not distribute it further. Jeff
#Txt file compilation
Message #81062
To all you new Imagine 3.0 owners… I was frustrated wading though the misc. *.TXT files on the imagine Amiga disk. So… I compiled them into a single document and created a table of contents. This make a REALLY handy textures reference appendix. I spell checked the sucker too… It's…
#Bones problems in stage
Message #81061
I just got my Im 3.0 for the Amiga. My first experiment with bones is puzzling… In DETAIL editor… I made a tube, added 2 bones, created 3 states (following the hand tutorial): 1 – Default, tube standing on edge (I tacked my texture here) 2 – Straight, same as…
BAD CHUNK SIZE
Message #73227
I think I have found another bug: Using Imagine 2.9 (Amiga) Enter detail editor: Load vtx-2.obj (A spline which was pointized in spline editor) Select and Sweep with defaults Save as vtx-2-swept.obj Load Reproduceably generates "BAD CHUNK SIZE" Error. If I do the same with Imagine 2.0 and load it…
I *have* used numerous Corel PS fonts with Imagine. No problem. I have however only used fonts from Corel 4 I have not gone back and tried the ones from my older Corel 3, but the should work fine. Jeff
Yep, that was it. Worked fine. Now, say I sweep a shape and get an object. Then I create another spline with a different curve, turn in into an object, fracture and tweek it to get the same # of points, then sweep it exactly as I did the 1st…
#Points on a spline?
Message #72368
In Imagine 2.9: How would I add points to a spline so I can convert it to an object that I can SPIN to create an object? Or is there some other way to do this? More generically: Spline editor is GREAT for creating smooth curves. How do I get…
#Can't play HAM ianim
Message #69461
I think I have a bug, Ver 2.9 Imagine for Amiga: I create a 30 frame HAM animation, RGB-12, 320×200. When I try and load/play the animation in imagine format, it seems to load, but when I try and play it I just get a blue screen. Pressing ESC exits.…
#Ideas for Stage Edit
Message #69236
Just got Imagine 2.9… So far so good. Since you solicited new ideas in your notes supplied with the disks, I have a couple. 1) Now that the stage editor has LAYERS it would be nice to be able to sort BY LAYERS. This would group all the realated stuff…
#Convert to B&W
Message #63962
Using ADPRO 2.3 how can I convert a gray scale image to Black and White? I want any color darker than a threshold to be converted to black and anything lighter than the same threshold converted to white. I'm sure that this is a simple operation, but I haven't been…

NOUMEN files for Imagine
Message #62954
OK, Do you have a bug list? Or do I continue to think I am going insane looking for obects which aren't on the disk? I really like the disk, but I guess I am kindof disappointed about the haphazard assembly of it. The disk was not cheap, not a…

NOUMEN files for Imagine
Message #62894
Um, I can't find some other objects anywhere: Landis/(anything) Did these get missed too? I could just be going blind squinting at directories on this disk. Jeff

NOUMEN files for Imagine
Message #62802
Ok, so how do I convert these objects? I really wanted the bed. How can I convert this to a usable Imagine object? Scaling up in Imagine doesn't work… Assembling the parts seems unrealistic. I even tried removing the 'light' and 'camera' objects from the scene file. I did this…
I also saw this 'bad edge' problem with Imagine. I have seen it in 'BigBen' and some other viewpoint objects. FYI. Jeff
NOUMEN files for Imagine
Message #62727
I just recieved the 3D-ROM and went to the Imagine/NOUMEN directory. It's empty, only 2 text files. Why no Imagine conversions? So, I decided to convert the LightWave versions. I tried (with Interchange 2.0b) to convert the .scn files. They *seem* to convert OK, but when I load them in…
Newsletter
Message #61933
I guess everyone is getting thier newletters. I still haven't received mine. Infact; I haven't gotten the last few. I called (2 months or so ago) to make sure you had me in your database. The person who took my call indicated the computer was down, but he would make…

QB5.1 and DAT tapes
Message #39591
Mark, Thanks again for the quick response to my other questions! I have written a couple of MACROS to help manage my DAT tapes and in the process I have found some more anomolies with QB 5.1: My configuration is an Archive Python DAT tape drive on A3000/25. 1) If…
#QB 5.1 Questions
Message #39317
Mark, Thanks for your quick response to my other questions. I checked the multi-backup stuff I found I was mistaken. I does only display the requestor 1 time. The DMA memory situation is somewhat unfortunate. Couldn't you folks just have a button for FAST MEMORY, forcing the buffers into the…
#QB 5.0 more bugs?
Message #39207
? I just got QB 5.0 and patched it to 5.1. I have run into a couple of problems. (not mentioned so far). My system is A3000 with 2 drives and an Archive Python (DAT) 1) No matter what I set the buffer options memory type to be QB always…
Global fog
Message #36382
I am having trouble with 'global fog' in Imagine 2.0. I found that the fog effect will not show up IN FRONT of a transparent object. The simplest test case is simply to put a transparent plane in front of a colored plane and rendering the scene with global fog.…
? Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my description. Here is the REXX fragment which I launch from within ADPRO. I have checked the dstFile string and it looks like a valid path name. The result is CYMK.mag … in the directory with ADPRO. —-trace all address "ADPro" options results…
