A reader of 3D Modeling Lab (Waite Group Press) asked for a simple tutorial in
using Imagine. It turns out that the original first chapter for the book was
exactly that. Good thing I didn't throw it out when the publisher nixed it.
I've uploaded the chapter as a Word for Windows and ASCII text file in the
library section. It was written for Imagine 2.0 but most of it applies to 3.0.
It's copyrighted under the Havana Copyright Conventions, which means you can do
