Jon, WARNING. I know of two Imagine videos on the market. One is by Centaur and is strictly an introductory how-to for pirates who don't have the manual. You'll outgrow that tape faster than you can rewind it, especially if you have Steve Worley's book. I got rid of that video as soon as I found someone who'd buy it from me. The second video was created by Rick Rodriguez for Impulse, and is titled "Imagine: the possibilities". It's a fast-moving assemblage of hints, tips, animated and still images, designes to help the user who has learned Imagine's basic operation. Some basic objects are created in a jiffy, showing some nifty modeler shortcuts. This video stresses smart _usage_ of the program's many functions. It's exactly what most people want from a tutorial: not a rehash of WHAT functions are available, but HOW to use them. I strongly recommend it. Blaq!
