The I Files is a complete multimedia reference for the Imagine
3D rendering and animation package.
Over a year in the making, the I Files is the result of Richard Foster
's quest to completely understand Imagine. Towards the end of
this crusade, Richard was fortunate enough to team-up with
Cory Collins, who
happened to be working on a "Character Animation" course
using Imagine. With Corrys animation course, Richards manual,
and tips and tricks from many of the best users of Imagine,
the I Files were born...
The manual itself is split into four sections:
- Imagine reference ~ 722 pages packed with information
and examples showing how every facet of Imagine
works and what each is capable of. With numerous AVI movies and
ScreenCam tutorials linked to the appropriate sections of the
text and over 2500 figures, hopefully you can see the richness
of the manual.
- Stage F/X supplement ~ 66 pages covering Imagine's
Actor and Global effects, each with linked AVI's showing how the
various parameters determine the results of the F/X.
- Texture supplement ~ 198 pages devoted to Imagine's
procedural object and light textures, showing a pictorial
representation of each along with explanatory text of the
controlling parameters.
- Users tips and tricks ~ 205 pages from such Imagine
luminaries as: Richard Jennings, Charles Blaquière, Simon
FC de Rivaz, Steve Blackmon, Bill Boyce, Tom Granberg, Pat
Connelly, Tyler Lund, Kathryn Foston, Todd Cherniawsky, Hans
Palmgren, Margaret Copeland, Bill Graham, Cory Collins, Gregory
Denby, Conny Joensson, Stephen Gifford and Clae Tannet. May I (R. Foster)
take this opportunity to thank them all for allowing me to
include their work.
