Hey, guys! Before I start my usual cycle of bitch, moan and complain, <G> I wanted to tell you what an awesome program Imagine is–the more I use it, the more amazed I become! I love it so much I've been recommending it on other online services. Never thought I'd become a walking software advertisement! However…<G> I've been doing a little space scene, with a spacecraft in the foreground and nebulous cloud in the background, all inside a really big sphere set up to look like a starfield (as suggested by Greg Tsadilas). Only thing is, sometimes when I try to change the view in the perspective window (angle or zoom) the screen goes black and I get message saying something like, "Abnormal Program Termination–remember what you were doing and call Impulse." Now, I want you to understand that I'm not angry or anxious or anything–in fact I'm not particularly worried at all. I've used Imagine for what must be hundreds of hours now and this "Abnormal Program Termination" thing has only happened to me twice, both times on the same project using the same objects. But Imagine told me to call, and I always do what Imagine says! <VBG> Bernie
