Looks like Imagine - but wasn't that Amiga only...?

Looks like Imagine - but wasn't that Amiga only...?

 

 

They did release a version of Imagine for PC. It was on the first cover disc to the UK comic "Computer Arts". It came out about the same time as the original Toy Story under the caption "Make your own Toy Story ". Lest I sound like a complete geek... only remember this because I used it to make my first short on my first PC. A sort of pop video to the tune by Fletcher Henderson. Memorable because I went on holiday while it rendered, came back seven days later and it had only just finished... things have improved.

It is Imagine PC version This note was on one of the discs ...

December, 1993

Bonus!

Just as this book was going to press, we added a space fighter animation

to this disk.

This fighter animation is NOT documented in the book. Use it if you like,

but we do not offer technical support for it.

Descriptions of the animation can be found as KEYFRAME.TXT and CYCLES.TXT

in the SPACE.IMP subdirectory.

Accompanying descriptions: Keyframe.txt

Contains the names and descriptions of all objects and paths found in the

SPACE.IMP directory along with a keyframe script of timeline events.

Cycle.txt:

Contains cycle information about the space station objects

and some practial knowledge of cycle timing.

I had that program on the AMIGA. I also didn't know they had a PC version.

Yeah! Impulse Imagine... I bought their giveaway introductory version for $50 in about 1993... I followed a tutorial to model a box or something and wanted to see a render of it... it kept rendering all black and I gave up. It wasn't until years later that I got my hands on A:M and saw that the default choreography had a rudimentary lighting setup that I realized... LIGHTS! I had no lights on my object- of COURSE it rendered black!
