#TS/Imagine User Group
13 messages in this thread
Well, with luck all of you who expressed an interest in a Silver/Imagine
User group here on CIS have received an EMail by now…. If I missed
someone by accident, I apologize; please let me know.
I think an October CO would be a good idea to get things moving quickly.
I'd rather see us get going, rather than spending a lot of time deciding on
how to get going. As mentioned in the EMail, anyone with particular
ideas/etc to share on how to make this better for all PLEASE SPEAK UP.
I'm going on the road on Monday, 9-24 and won't be back at my pool old
Amiga for @ one month or so; I'll try to check in several times a week from
whereever I am….
Let's get talking…. now, what the heck is the difference between a WRAP X
and a FLAT X again? <smile> –jp–
I'm interested in the Silver/Imagine group. Please forward me any info
concerning the matter. I am not currently an Imagine owner, but planning to
buy it shortly.

Hi Ho:
I would sure like to be involved in an Imagine/Turbo group. I know
TS is the program I spend most of my time in. When Imagine arrives it would
be great to know others at the same level of expertees…
Please E-Mail Me Some Info.
Thanx Brad Hayes =>

I'd very much like to be able to dl Silver objects and files to use as
"tutorials", as well as have a Silver group to ask questions of. Don't do
much co-ing though. Would I still be able to "play"? 🙂

Sure you could 'play' Ray! The more the merrier! I'd hope/expect to
generate a transcript/summary of any CO's for uploading here, along with
any specific data files mentioned in the CO. That might serve nicely as a
sort of 'newsletter'?

John,
I'm a bit late coming into this thread, but please add me to the list of
those interested in a TS/Imagine user group. Given the TS docs, I'm
expecting the Imagine learning curve to be rather steep, and I'll need all
the help I can get! 😉

Well, you left messages in EasyPlex, and said we should reply here. So,
here goes:
My problem is that, as much as I LOVE Turbo Silver, the docs are abysmal
(sp?). So, I have fooled around a bit, and put it aside in frustration.
In addition, the version I have (3.0 purchased at the Amiga users'
convocation here in New York two years ago [NOT WOA, which was this year]),
even with BangZero clearing out the memory zero location, creates totally
TRASHED renderings on the 2500/30 I have at work, but works just fine on
the 2550/20 I have at home (since I am the ONLY person who uses an Amiga at
each location, I believe this is legal, since I can't be both places at
once).
Anyway — I LOVE this program, but do not have the time or energy to learn
it on a "detective" basis (I don't do the New York Times crossword puzzles
either). So, one thing I would very much like from a users' group is a set
of "tutorial" sessions in which the members of this group who have mastered
this software might actually create the tutorial session that Impulse
_should_ have included in their docs. Also, if others are having the same
problems I am with the 68030 chip, could we work to encourage Impulse to
put a patch up here? (Why should I have to do constant upgardes for
something like that, when they could UL a patch which would be of use only
to folks who already had Turbo Silver 3.0).
Anyway, those are my two cents. I define a users' group as a) providing
shared experience, b) providing enough help to neophytes to permit them to
"join the club" as easily as possible and c) to provide a unified voice for
user/vendor interaction.
My comments are directed, I think, to all three functions. Bottom line
-this is a wonderful program. Someone PLEASE make it if not easy, at least
rational, to learn!

John,
Although I am more at ease with Sculpt than with TS, I would like to
join the group as I am also waiting for Imagine.
Please send me any imformation. Thanks
John,
Please add my name to the growing Imagine/TS user group.
May I plead that the format of the group does not rely only on 'live'
conferences. The cost of access from Europe precludes that being effective
for us long distance users (a 2 hour CO would cost around $75). I would be
very interested in getting imagine tutorials from the library.
Thanks,
Phil Camp.
I didn't get your EMail, John. Could you send me a copy? The idea of a
Silver/Imagine User Group is *very* exciting.

John: I would be interested in learning more about a TS/Imagine group. Send
me more details please.
regards,

Missed me, apology accepted. I'm still interested in the Imagine/Silver
User Group.
How about a little graphics contest (ie: Stills not anims) between the
User Group members?
