As was said in a political debate between our past Vice President and a Senator from Texas Lloyd Benson to Dan Quale. " Mr. Quale you are no Jack Kennedy." My point is this. I dont think that Light wave is a Lamborghini. It is a good product but I contend that it is not better than Imagine. I talk to users all over the world and here in NTSC land. There are those who feel that LightWave is the end all and be all for 3D. They have a right to that opinion. As far as being a shinning star of 3D for the Amiga I would ask you to consider the following. We have sold tens of thousand of more Imagine software than there are toaster in the world. Many of those sales have been in places where the Toaster dont work. Twice Imagine has been voted the #1 AMiga 3D program by the readers of Amazing Computing Magazine. We know of more than 7 movies that have used Imagine to do special effects and images. There are numerous corporate videos and films that have been made with Imagine, and 5 television shows here in the US that have used Imagine (the ones I know of). Of couse there have been thousands of commericals made with Imagine that have been viewed world wide. If I am sensitive about your comments it is because I feel that Imagine has a much broader impact than you might have knowledge of. That is not your fault for not knowing, we here at Impulse tend not to blow our horn, we think that this kind of balbbering is counter-productive. We want everyone to have the opportunity to do good things, and not have the "PROS" constantly thrown in thier faces. Very few people can do the kind of things that a team of artists can do with a more than casual budget. Imagine is for everyone and we want you and everyone else to enjoy what we have done. You can compare Imagine to anything that you like, maybe now you realize or have a better feeling for why I might be a bit sensitive. OK enough Blah, Blah. Mike PS Thanks for taking the time to go through the software and let others know what you found, I look forward to the next rev and your comments, I hope that you will however be busy playing that it will take more than a few hours to get to it all. Again, Mike
