Ijust got LENZ effects last week. Two questions. What is LenZ effects Lumina and do I get upgraded (if indeed its an upgrade). When using Aura on objects, the glow seems to come and go when an object completes a 360 degree rotation. All cameras and lights are stati stationary throughout the animation. What could be causing this? Ok this is not a question, but has anybody tried the bLACK BELT PROGRAM WinImagagesFX? ( So it is a question!). This program is superb. I It allows for glows, flames, auras, waves, lightening bolts and many many other effects to be appliedto images over time. I've been using i it for a few weeks and have saved a lot of time applying these effects to TGA sequences. The only drawback is that the program uses giant s sized requestors and windows(it is a windows program) and cuts down on the useful real estate. They assure me that their next version comi coming soon will have much smaller windows and icons.

<< Ok this is not a question, but has anybody tried the bLACK BELT PROGRAM WinImagagesFX? >> Yeah, I've used it off & on since the first beta, and thought it was OK for a lot of things. And I especially thought it was a genuine bargain, at $50 or whatever. I even uploaded stuff here about it, but I don't think anybody cared for it much. That, and their Morph program has to be the most value for the money of about any software. BILL

>>> bLACK BELT PROGRAM WinImagagesFX? ><<< Did they ever write a hard copy manual for it? I thought it was a good deal too but I need hard copy manuals. I like to sit in my easy chair ____AWAY_____ from the Computer Screen and Relax by reading over the Tech. Manuals of programs I'm trying to learn. When I see something that peaks my interest I go back to the Screen and try it. I've already got enough eyestrain due to the many hours in front of the Computer Screen and I don't particularly care to increase them. That was my real problem with the program. Of course Now I'm using Elastic Reality so it's a mute point. BTW if you've got Razor Pro you've GOT to get the transjammer effects by ER! They are GREAT!!!! Murph'

Hi Murph, I don't think they go for manuals <g>. But, I completely agree with everything you said. I HATE on-line doc's as the only source for info.. As one whose eyes (and body) has been destroyed by monitors, mice, keyboards, etc.., I can relate. I've always thought if they built the cost of a good manual into the s/w, it would still be dirt cheap for it's potential. It definitely goes on the short list of PC programs that *really need good printed doc's badly*: Real 3D Microstation 3D op's WinImages Oh well, BILL
