#Wraps and ImagineFP
10 messages in this thread
Impulse,
I have a problem with a cylindrical wrap I made. The wrap is onto a
cylinder, and goes from the botton of the cylinder 1/4 way up. I used
repeat to get the brush to repeat on the other 3/4 of the cylinder. In
effect doing four wraps of the same brush.
This works fine in the integer version of Imagine, but the Floating
Point version only calculates the first 1/4 of the cylinder properly. The
rest is the underlying colour of the object (white).
Any fixes for this? I can go in and manually map the image 4 four times
for now.
Thanks,

I haven't run into this problem myself, but you might also try asking over
in the AmigaArts Ray Tracing section. You're likely to get a better
response there, since not everyone sees messages in this forum.

<grumpff> You'd think Kevin could expect an answer in this Forum rather
than cross-posting to AmigaArts — after all, this is the Impulse Forum.
Where the heck are the Impulse folks to answer our questions? We've been
left to discuss amongst ourselves for months now.
Blaq!
Charles,
Maybe they're too busy working on the MS-DOG version of Imagine to
frequent their own forum.

If you think this is bad you should see what the Impulse forum at Portal
looks like. Quite pathetic, both places.

We are here as usual, replying to questions and cconcerns where the
informed user experts like Charles and John Pendergrass, among others, have
not taken care of them. Compuserve's user base is an excellent source of
information on our products, and we also use email to help those who
contact us that way. We had a conference here with Mike Halvorson several
weeks ago that answered many of your questions. Please rest assured that
we are listening – and responding.

That's very good news! Thanks, there were times when I couldn't get ANY
help. A bigger manual and your monitoring here should help a lot.

It would be a lot more helpful to everyone if you used the message base
instead of e-mail, because those of us who want to know the answers to some
of these questions too can't partake of the answers! It would also keep
people from asking the same things, if they've seen the answers here.
There have been too many questiosn that haven't been answered here in the
message base, and it's here for participation.
How that's off my chest, keep up the good work! The comapany I work for
uses Imagine and we love it.
I'll second Steve's comments. Impulse has given great service (through
e-mail) when I've had problems that were not answered by others.

I was more concerned with the lack of dialog among the users that share
ideas and techniques. I don't have the time to experiment thoroughly, I
like to soak up info while lurking 🙂
Thankyou for your assurance on the other issue,
