Hello,

I have several questions about Poser 8 before I decide to upgrade. I would like to review its manual for details on the new features but unfortunately I cannot find it in Smith Micro's site. This is rather strange since this would clear many questions for prospective buyers. Does anyone have a link? I tried posting this request in Smith Micro's and Content Paradise forums but I found there were none.

I could try the demo but that is not available yet and being restricted it would not answer some questions I have.

It won't hurt to ask your questions here, someone might know the answer. 

The Manual is not available outside the Program.

Smith Micro offers a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, so you can run it through its paces with confidence.

For specific questions, just contact Support.

I know this has nothing to do with the subject but.....Whoaaaa FlyerX I haven't seen you around in...well... a long time!!!

Truthfully, you're not missing out on anything not having the manual.  You can learn much more here from bagginsbill and stewer :)

 I only have experience of Poser manuals from P5 onwards, but they're pretty useless. Go read the descriptions of some of the Material nodes.

For instance:

FRACTAL SUM
The Fractal Sum node is a fractal function that returns values between –1 and 1. It has the
following attributes:

Which is a list of the inputs to the node, and nothing at all about just what sort of fractal math is going on.

And a diff file for P5 and P6 could be pretty short.

Thanks for the replies.  I will wait for the demo or maybe take Smith Micro on their 30-day satisfaction guarantee.  In the meantime I will start a new thread with several questions that I have about this new release.
