I have been a user of Imagine (from Impulse) for over 10 years. It first came out for the Amiga computer but has been available for the PC for about 9 years. I would like to see a separate gallery for this terrific product. I belong to an Imagine discussion forum that has about 700 members and I know many of them would like to contribute to an Imagine gallery section. What say you all?

I would also like to see this. I think little is seen of what Imagine can really do. This would be a great place for users to share their works, techniques and ideas as well as see what other users of different 3d packages do. I use Imagine along with After Effects for multipass animation work. Clae

Well, I've been following the thread about this over on the IML for the past week or so and I think the decision to seek an Imagine gallery here is a good idea. Having been a decade long Imagine enthusiast myself, I think the users of this wonderful program are as deserving as any. You know, there is already a gallery here called - I think - Other Apps, which might be a place for people to begin posting Imagine works. Should a sufficient number of posts begin to appear, I think that might be a trigger for the admins around here to consider. Having been around this place through several iterations, the current version - Renderosity - seems very stable and for the most part receptive to proposals like this. Most members seem to have either no knowledge of or interest in Imagine, though this might be more a result of Impulse's --- err, low profile media wise than a reflection, negative or otherwise, of the program's capabilities which, as we know, are considerable. Quite, in fact. Just my thoughts. Larry F

I'd like to see a Imagine specific gallery at Renderosity too. I've been a member here for some years now, and usually put my Imagine related work to the Other Apps gallery. This would help to bring the Imagine user community back to live from years long hibernation. Something that happened to Vue when it had a specific gallery added here.

Yep.. Me too.. Imagine has quite often been overshadowed by the big boys (Max, Lightwave etc..) but is actually capable of some extremely great rendering and a gallery here would be great as this appears to be the place for most things 3D. Also, what with all the object format converters on the market, I think it would be great to post free objects as well in obj format for both other imagine users and other 3D app users to use (3D Exploration will import imagine objs and export them as whatever (3ds, lwo etc.. etc..) So what are the chances of having a similar setup to the poser area for imagine.. Thanksfor listening

yeah...bobbystahr here...not a member yet but am signing up to day,an idea whose time has come,can we have one please peace bobbystahr

Hi All, I've been using the Other Apps section to upload some of my Imagine generated work, for about 6 months now (not many- the Amiga isn't that fast!)- though I had a clearout of some older stuff (deleted about 4 pictures). I think an Imagine area is definitely a great idea, for Imagine users (PC and Amiga) to showcase their often amazing work. Also, there are so many good models out there and, with the various 3D conversion packages available, it gives other software users, another source of often, hi-quality models. Thanks for reading, Kevin.

I also would like to see an Imagine gallery here. I have been a long-time user of it (c 13 yrs), and I think this would be great area to share output, models, etc. Thanks, Bryan

Hi Clae, Robbert, all the gang, Nice to meet you in renderosity. I have been posting in the contact team forum, unaware that you were in this one. I also got some answer for an imagine gallery there. So I should upload my pictures in the [other app] gallery ? Maybe once a (still putative) imagine gallery is created, it would be possible to uplaod them again in this new "imagine" gallery ? So they would be duplicated... this is not a good idea right. MAybe I should delete them first from the "other app" before to put them in this "Imagine" gallery. Here is one, the backgroung was done in Bryce and applied as global environnment in Imagine. It's a picture of me mapped around a face done in organica. It is still WIP. Best Richard

I would also like to add my support for an Imagine gallery, if half the IML (Imagine Mailing List) starts to upload pictures here we will have a lot fairly quick. I have been using Imagine to and from since version 1.1 which was back in 85-86 I believe. /Johan A

Richard, you should be able to modify the gallery, using the EDIT button, then altering which gallery it will be in. Hopefully, this will simply move it, rather than duplicating it. Kevin.

Hi Kevin About the edit button, I havn't seen any move function. The only way I see to move pictures from one gallery to another one is to delete the picture and to reload it in the new gallery. Anyway, I download a steady 3 pictures a day when possible as many of you I guess. But once it' s downloaded, in the Other App gallery, there is no way to know that it has been done in Imagine unless to click on the picture and unless it is specifically written in the comments by the author. The result: there is no way to know how many "Imagine" related pictures are present in the diverse galleries. Nobody has an idea ? Richard

Hi Richard, To move a picture, whilst logged on, click EDIT, then, you'll get a page identical to the one you used to upload the picture. Then, just change the Gallery (I think) cycle gadget, and accept the changes. This way you can also add thumbnails, and alter the text, that goes with the picture. As to the other point, what about if the title of the picture is prefaced by 'Imagine'? For example: Imagine: PictureTitle Kevin.

Hi, Again! Forgot to mention, you could then search using 'Imagine', and most of the Imagine pic's would be listed. In fact, I think, I'll alter mine, to 'Imagine: PictureTitle' anyway, just to make things a bit easier. Kevin.

Well, add another name to the list of folks that would like to see an Imagine gallery here on Renderosity.

Hi all, To the admin: people declaring their interest in an imagine gallery or forum are: (from the community improvement forum): M3G Clae LarryF HP Slippery Kmanktelow ~grumani Dickbill Dhurgan Critterbug (from the team contact forum): ClintH Spinner Jackoland DM LarryF and Svaccaro probably would support us as we support him for his FormZ forum. thank you everybody Richard

Hi all, We've got it, the forum ! the gallery will follow shortly according to Spike. Thanks Spike ! Bobby has already posted a great picture too, in real time, with his text ! Richard

Imagine gallery launched. : )
