Last night, Mike Halverson assured me that Impulse would be releasing the details of Imagine's format in a week. Believe it or not, Impulse hasn't told Syndesis about the differences between Turbo Silver's format and Imagine's format, and that's why we haven't been able to release an update that would give the best possible translation to and from Imagine, under InterChange. So, please be patient… when I get those last few bits of info from their spec, I'll start working on the changes to make the Imagine module, and we'll have it available direct from Syndesis in a matter of days.

On a related note… I know our existing Turbo Silver module can convert (read) Imagine objects, except that it ignores and doesn't translate certain details of the textures. Now, we don't have Imagine yet, so I can't test this. A customer reported that if he loads an InterChange-created object into Imagine, he can't change the attributes such as smoothness, shininess, etc. although he can change the colors. Can anyone colloborate this?

John, I have been using a lot of Interfonts in Imagine. I had some problems with version .9 (although I don't remember specifics), but I have had no problems with version 1 of Imagine and interchange objects. Don
