JP. Soft edged light sources are acheived with the lighting texture called Softedge. SImply ready the texture doc associated to the texture and I am sure you will get the hang of it. As for the DXF deal, the file format of 3DS is not doucmented in the docs we have from Autodesk. While we are happy to know that you have gotten the software, we still have a limited ensight to what Autodesk is doing with their file format. If you have some insight please let us know. As for the new stuff. Its all over the place, we did not mark each new item as NEW STUFF, you might try out constraints, and freeze and the 100 new textures and the new states command and the new spline editor and the new cut copy and paste in the Action and the Clone in the stage, meanwhile back in the detail editor take a look at bones and just for the heck of it try putting a few hundred textures on a single object…. Well you get the point. If you have purchased Imagine for only what it would do more than 3DS, we are happy with that but you might being fooling yourself. Our goal has never been to replace the $3000.00 purchase you made with 3DS we think that IMagine can enhance you work I might also suggest that the Imagine detail editor is a very rich playground, as long as you spent the money, why dont you give it a try.
