>> my biggest problem with Imagine is that the rendering quality wasn't there when compared to LW. << Anthony, Of course, this is a subjective thing, but this is what I've noticed about rendering quailty between the two. Lightwave gets a user up and running rather quickly, by having a lot of defaults set as what I affectionately call "dumb dumb buttons"…that is various presets. Without much tweaking you get a render that basically looks great. The only draw back is that most images tend to look similar between artists because the ". With Imagine, the user has to set and create the look they want. It takes someone longer to get the look they want, but they can tailer it to what they like. I've seen Imagine output that looks "cartooney" as well as dead-on phorealistic, to anywhere in between. In most part, the look is dependant on the user and lets them define their own style rather than be locked in to someone else's. Just my opinion and take on things, I could be wrong. <g> >> 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. << What exactly are you referring to? Specifics would help here in getting them fixed, if they haven't been already. Many bugs were squashed in 3.2, some well known by users, others very obscure. -GreG
