- I prefer a manual too but it seems more and more software are doing the pdf instead.Or videos and I'm one of those that have a bad time using vids. I prefer the book in front of me.
It has been discussed in other threads that there was not going to be a manual. So I knew not to bother with ordering the disk and having to pay outragous shipping and extra tax for something I can bun to a disk myself.
- I believe it was for the core re-write and to be honest, P8 renders just as fast as the p4 did if set up as the same as what p4 could do. Maybe faster with muti thread. I can't say for sure because I have not rendered with the P4 renderer in a couple of versions now.
I think you will be surprised at how fast P8 renders. As I said if set up like P4, you know, no raytracing, or AO. IBL, the new IDL and what ever else that P4 didn't have. But if not, well, at least you still have other versions.
- I'm not liking them either but the kiddies seem to like it. It has been stated that it was done like that for future reasons that can't be told. LOL. It works for me but make sure you do point the content to install in your proper runtime folder. They have the Fn default installing to some strange bygone place, way over in your Documents and settings BS.
I see you just got a taste of the new type of poser users. Not only software versions change.
