#Questions
Mike, I got your address. Now we can communicate better. I posted my first
message to some unknown Impulse person. In the meantime, thanks to Tony
Ramirez, I am actually creating animations.
First of all, let me compliment you on a very powerful and reasonably priced
product. Just so you know I am on your side. (Before I start badgering you
with questions and complaints.)
1. I have not gotten the upgrade newsletter as of 7/28/93 at either my home or
work address. I am registered user of 2.0 on both the Amiga and PC platforms.

2. I hope that Imagine 3.0 has a much better manual. It would have a been a
good strategic idea with 2.0 to buy a bunch of manuals from Steve W. at
wholesale and bundle them with them with the software and charge $15 more, no?
I am sure you are tired of the criticism, but when I don't get to the Project
Editor until half through the manual, I begin to think maybe I have eaten
stupid pills for breakfast. I worked on the manual for 3 weeks without getting
to actually making an animation. Despite what you think, human beings do
respond to a bit of positive reinforcement from time to time. (Like seeing
funny bunnies hop about the screen, for example.) I detect a bit of Ingmar
Bergman (stoic Scandanavian) in your teaching methods. Take a look at 3D
Studio's manual some time. Rather than being a barrier to learning, it is a
model of structured learning.
3. How the heck do I use a path in an animation? Can you point to a specific
page in the manual that explains how to use a path to control the motion of an
object? I mean, I have learned 3D Studio and Lightwave, so it is not exactly
like I am dim or something. But Imagine seems to have been encrypted for no
particular reason.
I don't want to trash the product. I think you guys have the best product at
under $500 ever created for computers. It is priced less than 2D animation
programs like Animator Pro for the PC! The only
