Imagine (3D modeling software)

3D modeling and ray tracing program

Imagine could do more than all other 3D modeling and ray tracing programs. It came out for the Amiga[1] and later MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows.[2] It was created by Impulse, Inc. It uses the .iob extension for its objects. Imagine is based on TurboSilver, which was also for the Amiga and made by Impulse.[3] CAD-Technologies continued distributing the Amiga version.[4] Starting with version 5.1, current customers could get new updates for free in the Amiga Constant Upgrade Program (ACUP) until Imagine 6.0, which never came out.[5]
