Rick, I got version 1 today, and as I sit here concerned that Exploding logos are gonna become a cliche (what a neat feature!), here are a few comments: 1) Although I've only started and skimmed it, the tutorial seems really well written and illustrated. Congrats! 2) Ham interlace quarterscan settings are wrong. This turns out to be a typo easily fixable in the config file, but should be corrected in future shipments. 3) Possible bug: On a closed path generated in the stage editor, the first and last positions are the same. Thus an orbiting object appears to pause. 4) An inconvenience: with a Track axis generated in the stage editor, if you increase the number of frames in the animation, you cannot change the actor line in the action editor to reflect this. That is, you cannot get INFO on the object. 5) Finally, just an esthetic thought. Since some users may not get heavily into the config file usage, Impulse might want to ship with the "lines" turned off in the primitive mode. The objects look much cleaner. Finally, do you know if the mentioned warrenty cards were included with any shipments? There wasn't one in my package. But, I have to say, this thing was worth the wait! Don PS I am using the .FP version, and it is working.
