Although Turbo Silver may still be available, I recommend that you either
inquire about the upgrade path to Imagine (call Impulse at 612-566-0221) or
just buy Imagine. The price is surely higher for Imagine, but if you can
somehow afford it, the improvements over Turbo are quite phenomenal. If you can
only afford Turbo Silver ( I hear it can be had cheap) then by all means go for
it. It's still great bang for the buck. It's strong point is not necessarily
its animation, although with persistence it is very capable, but rather its
rendering power that is great. Brush wrapping, algorithmic textures, alterable
refractivity, transparency, reflectivity are all tops. If you go with Turbo, I
recommend Victor Osaka's book on the subject, as well as Rick Rodriguez's video
tape, both of which may be now found cheap due to Turbo's replacement by
Imagine. Hope this helps...
