Mike, actually, I opened the Imagine package at 7:30 PM, and this list was typed up at 11:00 PM, after a couple of hours of doodling in Imagine. (I noted new features as I read them) Your addendum was just perfect, by the way. Not a real manual, but certainly enough to get any experienced Imagine user up to speed on all the new features. Mucho thanks Mike. And please, lighten up regarding the inevitable Lightwave comparisons. Like it or not, Lightwave is the glamourous star of Amiga 3-D, and inspires lots of envy among its groupies; however, its steep price puts it out of the reach of many ordinary folks, and that's where Imagine comes in: a solid performer, with a respectable feature set, at the perfect price. But just like people who lust after Lamborghinis should be forgiven for blurting out something like "the new Escort's leather steering wheel cover is soooooo reminiscent of the Lamborghini", an occasional Lightwave comparison will pop up online. By the way, my point about Imagine 2.9 being much more Lightwave-like referenced the beautiful sense of control one gets when playing around with the new active Perspective view, which had always been a visible difference in the way Imagine and Lightwave interfaced with the user. I guess I could've said "Imagine is now much more Caligari-like", but that doesn't inspire the same ooohs and aaahs.
