#New Media Article

Greg,
Do you get New Media magazine? I thought you did….now, on page 80 of May 95
issue there's a blurb about Imagine's FX. It is in the second column at the
end of the Explode Volume paragraph within the "3D Studio Changes Are More Than
Skin Deep" article.
The magazine states in this paragraph that "All of the Imagine FX plug-ins lack
integrated previews, which should be added in a revision". Does this mean that
the writers of this article know something about Imagine that the rest of use
would be interested in?

Steve,
I don't get New Media, so I haven't seen the article.

All I can conclude by this Steve is that someone has developed a group of 3DS
plug-ins called "Imagine" or some such thing. And that they don't have a
screen that integrates with 3DS well yet. I don't belive that Impulse has
written their FX's for use as 3DS plug-ins. Could it be that someone wrote a
bridge to use Imagine's FX's with 3DS? I just don't know.

I honestly dont know Steve. I've been sharing up to the minute info on what
3.3 will offer, as well as what/when WinImagine will happen. So far none of it
includes anything about 3DS. I'll ask about it though…but in order to do so,
please give me as much info as is contained in the article specific to what is
being called "Imagine FX".

>>specific to what is being called "Imagine FX".
I can give some clarification here, GreG. Imagine FX isn't related to Imagine;
I guess it's sort of a product line type name for a series of 3ds plugins from
Schieber Instruments ( Imagine FX, Imagine Key Factory (physics), Imagine
Metareyes (metaballs, etc). The FX packages has 6 or 7 particle effects, the
coolest being particle cloud and volume explode. The dialog just allows you to
set parameters; no preview for the effect like in some of the newer IPASs, so
you have to render to see the results of your numbers.

John,
Thanks for the info. Now that you mentioned it, I've seen mention of those in
the 3DS forum.

Glad we got that straight. Thanks all.
