#Imagine Chrome?

Greetings, all. Can any Imagine gurus out there tell me if it's possible to get a chrome-like surface out of Imagine? If so, can it be done in interlaced HAM mode (I don't have a 24-bit card, sob). The best I've managed to do is a mirror-like surface, but having highlights like plastic(!). Info appreciated. ….Seeya – Grant.

I picked this tip by reading the Imagine Compendium. Steve Worley gave these settings for Chrome: Color 60 60 80 R 240 240 255 F 0 0 0 Sp 240 240 255 Dith 48 Hard 247 Rough 0 Shine 177 You might have to tweak this a bit, but this should give you a good start. Good luck! Steve

Ta muchly, Steve, I'll give it a go. The Imagine books haven't reached us down here in NZ yet, but I'm hoping to find one when I go to LA. ….seeya – Grant.

Check the libraries for the Imagine Compendium….it's a great reference.

Did you ever find the missing installment of that series?

It's been there for a while…but since I don't have direct access to the Internet, I'm working out the logistics of getting 'em. I'm going to get everything (which is now 1-14, as of today), and reupload it all with better descriptions within the next couple of days. It's going to take some time, so bear with me. 🙂

Steve, Any chance you can arrange for some of the Usenet Imagine objects can be uploaded to the DLs here? (I don't have Usenet access, like many other forum members) -RSL-

There are a number of Imagine Objects available in the libary already. Have you seen them? Steve

Yes I have, but in reading the Imagine Compendium available in the Libraries here, there seems to be a much larger number of Imagine objects available on Usenet. I was just hoping that someone with Usenet access could upload a selection from their collection.

OK…I'll see what I can do about getting them. I just wanted to be sure that you've seen what's available in the libraries.

Steve, Thanks! I look foward to seeing a larger selection of Imagine objects to "play" with. The images I've seen in Impulse's video are BEAUTIFUL. -RSL-

Steve, as long as you're looking into getting us some more Imagine objects off Usenet… seems like Steve Worley has re-created, in Imagine, a semi-famous Pixar scene and it's supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced objects. <ducking> Would you mind terribly inquiring about that as well?
