walrus@wam.umd.edu (Udo K Schuermann) (11/27/90)
Imagine Users, In an effort to help Impulse bring a bug-free version of Imagine 1.0 to market, which ultimately benefits us, the users, I have recently taken it upon myself to ask the Usenet Amiga community to report bugs and observations to me so that I may bundle this in one package to mail to Impulse. I have received very few responses (effectively only 3) which makes me sad, but considering the upside of this: maybe the number of problems is really very limited and we now have them all :-) [Robert Wallace: I got your mail but my reply is getting stuck at uunet for some reason.] This is the LHARCED, UUENCODED package that I am mailing to Impulse (they're getting an unpacked version ;-) of course, via snail mail!) ._.

The main problem I've found with imagine comes with trying to render a scene in full trace multiple times. For example, if I create a car and set the lamps and cameras etc. and then go out to the project menu..if I am in full trace mode the first time out I am ok. But if I go back to the stage area and say change a lamp or camera position..when I go back to render again from the project menu I get a screen full of black. This problem does not occur when I use scan line mode. The other thing I don't like is not being able to adjust the zoom factor in the preview window in the Cycle Editor. Well actually you can if you zoom out in the three views but then your object is more difficult to work with. The preview window should have variable zoom. I don't like Impulse's opinion that Imagine is so easy to work with that it hardly needs a manual. It does have many very easy to use features but the program also has a lot of depth, it really is hot. But that means it deserve s an equally excellent set of documentation. Sculpt Animate 4D is a fine example of excellent documentation (tho the images created by sculpt pale next to silver or imagine in my opinion). One thing that could be explained better is proportioning objects relative to the diamond shaped primatives in the cycle editor. I've experimented with this quite a bit and I'm still not entirely clear on that relationship. The movie editor is not funtioning yet.

You're probably too late for 1.0....It's already been released.

To understand the cycle editor, I found it very helpful to "snapshot" (you'll find it in the menu) the object (this saves the object in any of it's inbetweened positions and then load it into the detail editor. You'll find that your object(s) now are "threaded" together with a skeleton. Pay attention to the relationship between your objects axis(s) and the skeletal line. Hopes this helps. -steve -- Stephen Menzies Email: S.Menzies@CAM.ORG
