I was wondering if you are impementing spline object building into Imagine 3.0? I am a Director at Warner Bros. Animation and recently one of the producers and myself have been working with Playmation after previously working with Imagine. Being that we do character animation, sline object creation and animation fits into our needs better than polygon objects. Frankly we have a hard time with playmations interface and speed. We also prefer Imagines rendering capabilities. We also would like to be able to combine polygon and spline objects for certain effects. I would like to talk with you more at lenght about this. Also how about 040 optimized code? I realize floating Point works fine on the 040 but it would really fly with code optimized for the 040. Rusty Mills

Rusty, drop Impulse a note directly. I'm sure they'd love to see some of your work with Imagine as well. Splines play a big part of Imagine 3.0, I'm told, although I haven't seen anything first hand. –Rick

So, Peter, while we're blabbing… Have you contempled how much more managable (compact) that huge 1701-D Enterprise would be if Imagine could model with true splines? I think that object is a perfect example of how problematic curved surfaces are in a planes-only modeler. -Chris
