- We noticed this as well here, and spent a little while trying to figure out
- why it was happening. It turns out to be so much easier to build a sky object
- in this case that we chose to do so rather than goof with this any further.
- I didnt call impulse because as far as I knew, 4.0 is the last amiga version,
- and those lazy bastards cant even come up with a printed manual, much less a
- reasonably detailed textfile that describes the new program. I'm sorry, but
- a few lines explaining each new feature is NOT enough to understand them and
- use them easily. But, it could be much worse, from what I hear, the PC version
- has a very serious index of refraction bug that makes ALL glass look wrong.
- I hope Impulse gets their act together and at least provides some documentation
- and possibly a version of their program with hooks so that 3rd party devs can
- write add-ons. Impulse gets mad and claims that they dont have time anytime
- you ask them for a new feature, even after they flat out lied to us in writing
- about the feature set for imagine 3.0 (most of their promised features from
- over a year ago didnt even make it into the recent 4.0 release). It seems that
- allowing hooks for 3rd party addons would relieve Impulse of some of the
- "burden" of actually supporting their customers, which they often claim is
- just far too much to expect for such an inexpensive program.
-
- anyhow, you're not the only person to be inconvenienced by this bug.
