Imagine (which includes Imagine for Windows, Imagine for Dos, Imagine for the Amiga) is a wondrous 3d program which is capable of almost anything you might want to do (at least anything I might want).  My major complaint is many of the features are not well documented and combining several apparently unrelated tools or textures will give unexpected but useful results.  There are many scattered tutorials and resources all over the web.  Over time, I hope to list most of them here.  If anyone has any corrections, suggestions, or additions, please don't hesitate to write me.  I am also sure the authors would appreciate some feedback on their efforts.  I have gathered these links by visiting numerous Imagine related sites and I appreciate everyone's efforts in linking to many of these tutorials.
