The Imagine editor is like a quad-view version of the Turbo Silver editor, with more tools available (fancy snap to grid, magnetism, conform to sphere/cylinder, lasso/band box select...). The screen redraw times have improved considerably too. I personally a pushing Impulse for a "tri-view defines the point clipping" mode, wherein only points visible in all three views (front/left/right) are visible at all, as in Sculpt. Currently, looking in any one of the views presents you with all points in that direction, to the edge of the universe. This makes it difficult, just as in Turbo, to interact with the point you want to. I have yet to thoroughly explore the editors, but from the glancing I've done, it looks like a great system. BTW, keep an eye out on Animation:Journeyman too. The editor shows great promise. I was told yesterday that the version 1.1 will be out within a few weeks, sporting a new renderer, a fixed up action module, and alot of bug fixes ( which it desperately needed!). ----------------- * Scott Busse email: O O O_ _ ___ ..... * CIS 73040,2114 ||| /|\ /\ O/\_ / O )=| * USENET: l | | |\ / \ /\ _\ * a763@mindlink.UUCP May the frames be with you... \

JH> Is Imagine a complete replacement for Turbo Silver?
Yes. (As they said at the TS SIG at AmiExpo, you can throw away your Turbo
Silver diskette once you have Imagine. It is a virtual rewrite, so I
understand, and the improvements to the interface are substantial.)
