I have seen the picture "strike" with the falling bowls, but I don't think it is don't with a raytracer only. I haven't heard of any raytracer that makes the typical blur of a photo taken with low shutter speed. I'll wait for the next Imagine version anyway. It wouldn't make much sense to buy ver 2.0 now, learn it, and then in two month have to start again with the new version. I don't make commercial animation at the moment (this might change soon…) so I'm not in a hurry. >> Steve Worley also produced a package called Essence which has tremendous >> textures to use with objects in Imagine. What file format is Imagine using for textures? Maybe I can convert these files and use them with the program I'm using now. You don't have his CIS ID? -David
