About the only thing I can't do on Imagine tha > I can on Lightwave is use a picture as a backdrop. The only thing. I wouldn't put my foot in my mouth so quickly if I were you. I have used both extensivly (read my lips..extensivly) and there are *several* advantages to Lightwave over Imagine. I will *not* go into them all here. If anyone would like to know what they are, email me. Also, there are a *ton* (read my lips...TON!) of new features being pumped into Lightwave which makes it hands-down the BEST darn 3d there is for the Amiga bar NONE! I have Imagine 1.1 and the Toaster. Yes, the Imagine Detail editor beats the Modeler hands down. The Modeler is NOT Lightwave 3D. They are separate entities written by different people. In fact, we build our models in Imagine most of the time. You can use Syndisis's InterChange to conver Imagine objects to VideoScape objects which Lightwave reads if you wish. I'm sure Mark Thompson will stomp on your face for the above statements you made. You can see some of Marks fantastic work in the Toaster archives on AB20 if you so desire. -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878
