Not a bad idea, but we kind of like keeping some things a secret for a bit
longer. The next newsletter that should be going out this month will detail
the majority of the new features. I say "majority" we will probably be making
changes even up to the last minute. At the time the newsletter ships I will be
glad to post a message here giving everyone a better idea of what is going on
with Imagine 3.0. I admit that keeping everyone in the dark is a bit hard to
take, but there are some good reasons for this. Not only do things change but
we never seem to be able to meet our deadlines, as you might guess we are bit
behind already. SO, for now all that I will say is this, Imagine 3.0 will be a
quantum leap forward for 3D software, it will be easier to use, faster and have
more features than will even fit in one newsletter. Thanks for your concern.
Soon something wonderful is going to happen, is that a line form a movie or did
they know about 3.0 along time ago. Mike

I caught your last post and thought I'd say howdy!
Mike <HAL>vorson, hmmmmm?
I believe that was a line from "2001 – A Space Odyssey" so technically it
hasn't been said yet. I hope 3.0 comes out before the movie's time frame I'll
be much too old to care about 3D any more…maybe not.
BTW, are there any airshows near you that you normally go to? I wouldn't mind
taking a Jet up your way (Govt expense of course) to check out your operation.
And show you what a real jet looks like.

OK Mike,
Will be looking forward to the newsletter. BTW I like the style, form
and wit of the Impulse newsletter! ever think of going monthly? 🙂

Howdy Mike. A Stone Imagineer here with a wee problem. I bought Imagine
1.1 when it first came out and registered it, Never recieved one of these
Mythical Newsletters. Then 2.0 was announced here on CI$ and I immediately
Called you guys and ordered the Upgrade no Problem and Still have never
recieved one of these Mythical Newsletters.
Could you PLEASE, when Time Permits, check to make certain I'm down as a
registered owner of Imagine 2.0? And if possible could ya send a
newsletter my way. I feel left out. The Address on the Registration Card
should be current. Thanx a Ton.

Howdy Paul, hows yer imagining coming along? Any new Trek objects?
Someone on Amiga_Video Fido echo says they did a Nice Vorlon Ship
from Babylon 5 and they'll be putting it up on Studio Amiga soon. I
believe the Gent's name was Robert Livingston.
I haven't been doing much myself of late. Just fiddling around here
and there like on Mike Stortz idea for GROWING a Rainbow along a
path.
This is the busiest time of the year for me (Remember I am a
teacher and run a program for gifted students in grades 6-8.) with
all kinds of projects coming to closure. Right now DTP and video
editing projects are eating up all my spare time. But summer IS
coming! So stand by! 😉
Summer Time when the Weather is Dry you can look right up and Touch
the Sky. T-Rex Rules. Anywho I STILL have NOT compiled my new Demo
reel for some reason. Guess the nice weather is causing lapses in my
3D Work.
Know of a Source of Good INEXPENSIVE or better yet PD Dinosaur Objects
for Imagine or other format?
A local BBS to me has some INCREDIBLE Robot objects in 3D Studio
format, it may force me to upgrade to Interchange Plus and get the 3D
Studio module just to play with them. Do you know if Pixel Pro 3D
supports 3D STudio models? Thanx
Not surprisingly, PixPro 3D does NOT support 3D Studio formats. Grr.
So what's the name of this BBS with the 'INCREDIBLE' robots? Grin.
The BBS is the same one I mentioned in Regards to that "BIG Project" the
Inspirivison BBS at 718-854-6411 the MODELS themselves are NOT online,
only GIF's of them. I plan to pester the Sysop into submission since he
created the objects I should be able to Weasel them out of him. Maybe Even
get him to release them to PD.
Oh Well Scratch the plan to find someone with Pixel 3D locally to convert
the 3D studio models for me. Tho I've heard so many complaints about
missing faces and other weirdness with Pixel Pro that I'm not certain the
models would be useful after that anyway. Thanx
Pixel Pro does not handle 3D Studio. It handles DXF very poorly, too. What
conversion path were you planning?
Well as you know I went for yer Upgrade as well as the 3D Studio Module.
I'd hoped to have a local Sysop I know with Pixel 3D do the conversion for
me but since Pixel Pro doesn't support 3D Studio nor is it all that great
at the versions it does support I scratched that idea.
Will be awaiting my Package from ya'll anxiously.
No, but I'll keep an eye out for any dino objects. What we need is
a good home version of a 3D digitizer!
Animatrix $90 3D Digitizer sounds like just the trick. Unfortunately I
don';t have a Drawing Tablet which is required to us this Gadget.
If I find any PD Dino's I'll be sure to send them up here.
I hope Imagine 3.0 Does have a bones feature similar to Lightwave 3.0
since that would give me 1 Animateable High Quality Dino. The Triceratops
that came with Imagine 2.0 that is.
According to my "old" newsletter, Imagine 3.0 does indeed have a
comparable "bones" feature.

Mike Halvorsen or Rick Rodriguez mentioned it here too about the Bones
Feature. I am DYING to get Imagine 3.0
Greets Mr. Halvorson…
Any word on the hardware project "Dream Machine" that was mentioned in the last
newsletter ?
