Serious envy towards you….. I saw IV24 at some convention. I was pretty impressed. I definitely will buy one if the price range was lower. As of software, too bad it only comes with Caligari consumer version. Caligari shows its maximum power when incorporated in animation! I think the main difference between Caligari and Imagine is its ease of use. Imagine can definately pull of some impressive image as well as animation but it falls short on documentation + intuitiveness. I saw Caligari Broadcast version and was impressed how you move things around or transform object. I guess if you are serious and capable of fully utilizing Imagine, I would recommend it. Another thing, I think the latest trend in 3D is not raytrace. Because raytrace take too much time, simulating raytrace in normal rendering and how much its close to raytrace image matters. Considering that, Imagine fall short on speed, and in normal rendering, image doesn't look that great although its fast. So if you can afford it buy one anyway, why not… You can get all kinds of documentation other than Impulse to full fill the lack of documentation now a days. One other 3D software I would look into is REAL 3D. The image looked good and there should be a DEMO here on CIS BYEEE – THANX R.SATOH ->via Whap!
