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!). -----------------
