>The Modeler of Imagine is leaps and bounds ahead of Lightwaves tho I have >not use LW since version 3.1 so that may have changed. I know LW now has a >metaformer which is supposed to be AMAZING so…… This used to be true but I can't say that it is still true today. While LW/Modeler is diferent in that to make a grouped object you must create in Modeler and assemble in Layout it does have lots of tools that Imagine doesn't have. Not only the basic features (which all work) but also includes the ARexx scripts that just about anyone can write for Modeler. Imagine has some advantages over LW as well like a more capable Bones feature but my biggest problem with Imagine is that the rendering quality wasn't there when compared to LW. The last version of Imagine I have is 3.0 and it still has bugs from years ago. While I am sure that these problems will be fixed some day I am not willing to wait around.
