# Does anyone remember
A 3D rendering programme called Imagine? 'Twas an Amiga to PC Port that I got free on a coverdisc - a floppy - years back. I used to leave renders running overnight on an office 486/33 and knock up stuff like this:



Without really knowing what I was doing. Just found it again last night, so if anyone's got a manual or can point me towards one, I'll buy them a Cabana bar.

Yes, yes, I have 3DS Max, but I'm quite drawn to this clunky old package

# No Quatro
But I can manage a can of Tab Clear

it was ahead of it's time, release it now and the public is more atune to different softdrink flavours.

Can't remember what it tasted like, but I used to drink quite a lot of it when I had the chance.

# i remember it.
crikey, it's old, but i would think i still have a cover disk of it somewhere in the loft.

what about POV-Ray?

# I'll see your POV-RAY
And raise you VU-3D.

I've got the disc, just need some documentation. I'm amazed I ever managed to get that far with it on my tod.

# the disk?
Wasn't VU-3D an old spectrum 16k program? (and therefore on tape?)

I used to use Imagine on the Amiga.
I rmemeber I never had any complicated objects, since they used up too much memory, hence everything was spheres, and took a night to render.
