     I'm another "lurker" that makes money using Imagine. I generate
logos, make custom DVE's for music videos (demos), animate maps for
tourism pieces and am going to be working with native artists to bring
their totem animals to life (If Impulse decides to send me my 3.0, I'll
need bones for the piece). Imagine may not be the best software out there
but it provides the best bang for the buck on the PC and Amiga. Ray Dream
Designer does the same on the Mac. ALL software is limited in one form or
another but Imagine, once you climb that rather steep learning curve (made
no easier by the so-so interface), is reliable, powerful software. If you
need speed for a big project, lease a couple of stripped down IBM's (who
needs a good graphic card for a render slave) and purchase the PC version
of Imagine. It's a bit manual but it'll get the job done, within budget.
