Well looks like I did the classic foot in the mouth on this one.  After
reading more of the posts and looking back in the manual, I now see what you
were talking about with the "deformation tool" in imagine.  Guess I better
shut-up and read THE ENTIRE manual.  I'm glad I was wrong up above!  This
stuff is way cool!  Way to go Impulse!
