Many of us are starting to get a feel for some of the settings available that influence GI/IDL, but not nearly all of them. The "Poser Manuel" is about as clear as mud on many of these settings, and those settings that are only exposed to Python scripts are not covered at all.

Looking through Wikies about obscure lighting principles and properties is only so useful. Some are over the head of the average user, and they apply only so well. Poser often implements things in a non-standard way.

Reading these forums is great, but a document, giving understandable descriptions of the terms and settings, with some attention to their interactions, would help those of us who are willing to turn dials and tweak settings. I have notes scattered everywhere, and can rarely find that little hint that I am looking for. Yes, if it were available, I would buy the book.

Of course, every one is waiting for SR1. I hope that some tutorials will follow. I already feel that Poser 8 is a vast improvement over its predecessors.
