IM3.0 continues to blow my socks off. And, I still haven't scratched the surface. However, trying to be pro-active, it would be great if Imagine incorporated the following: Marketing. I see lots of other, less capable, programs being reviewed and mentioned in the press releases of computer magazines all the time. But not IM3.0. Not once! (I may have missed some, but I do read a lot of computer magazines.) I bought IM2.0 after seeing a magazine advertisement and also reading a product comparison review. Wouldn't this be an inexpensive form of advertising? It would be great if "our" program had the biggest market share. More income for Impulse … more resources for programming and development … better for us users. Maybe I'm being naive and it could be a lot harder than I imagine to get "our" program listed in the News/Update/Upgrade sections of New Media, DTV World, Computer Graphics, Cadence, Cadalyst, etc….? And being compared in an article on 3D software should be of paramount importance in your marketing thrust. I've seen all the competition reviewed over and over and I'd like IMAGINE to get some hype. You should, however, add a disk full of objects. Even if it means using the objects that came with IM2.0. (Obviously the CD you're going to produce is the ideal solution.) Most reviewers probably aren't going to spend more than a couple of days with the program and they will want to be generating animations in that time. Just my two cents worth. Thanks, Michael B.
