Re: Nova Design had Aladdin 4D for sale ? (!)

I think that Kermit mentioned Aladdin was sold.

> So does this mean they no longer sup****t amigas?

No.  Aladdin wasn't originally their product.  Nova
bought it from another company.  Nova is sticking
with their main package, ImageFX and still sup****ting it.

ImageFX Studio was just recently released.

> I much rather use Imagine.

Imagine will see continued development once AOS4
is moving.  Martin is too busy with AOS4 to work on
Imagine at the moment.

It'd be nice to see LightWave come back home now
that there are more powerful processors under the
hood.

Imagine's interface and Stage/Action editors need a
serious overhaul.  I'd like to see the Action editor
modelled after AfterFX with collapsable & scalable
tracks and easily manipulated keyframes.  It would
also be great if we could have some kind of nested
containers.  The point/face/edge limits need to be
removed and sup****t added for the newer 32bit
object format found in the Windows version.

I started out with 4.0 so I can say how much was different
from previous incarnations.  The current version is 4.5,
ImageFX Studio.

With our small market, software & hardware prices are
going to be high.  But ImageFX is a bargain compared to
the price of PhotoShop.

If you want to see ImageFX stay afloat, I suggest upgrading
and keep current with the latest versions.
