Quote - Like several of the big packages that only come with PDF manuals I take it and have a one off printed and bound for me.  Wasn't too costly and I have a printed manual and I had them put in extra large binding rings/spirals.  Yeah the Carrara manual isn't so much on the teaching, just this is tool X here is how it works.  I have Carrara 5 Pro Handbook and I learned alot more , I also have Mark Bremmers VTC tutorial set and those are great.  Though I like to have 2 monitors hooked up for doing that as I want to do as he shows.  I would suggest a video DVD but then resolution would be a problem.  

ya I have carrara 5 pro handbook too.. just wish someone would update.. I also use 2 screens but I use the 2nd one for all my palettes.  I have also tried the VTC and it's very good... but a little costly.. I do go there and just get a month now and then and try and stuff as much learning into my brain as i can in that month.  Did it a lot for Hexagon over there..... just wish that was stable on the macs because it is by far my favorite modeling program, just WAY to buggy to get anything done.
