Boni,

this FAQ attempt was made  not that long ago, by a previous forum support BasicWiz. We had a team, Vilters was doing modeling related stuff, I was doing materials related stuff, SnarlyGribbly was involved and so on. After a few months, I've not seen any progress from the various members (for probably good personal reasons) while I finished my Materials section - after say three months hard work. After that, about no-one appeared willing to perform a decent detailed review before issuing the stuff. Then BasicWiz could not establish any space for it on the Rendo site (not his fault), and I decided to locate the stuff on my own site.

There it is, and if one feels for copying and pasting it to any other place on the net, please do. Plus a lot on dynamics (hair & cloth). Mainly thanks to a lot of debates with BB and others, some years ago.

In the meantime, it might be far more fruitful to issue just comments on the various pages on my site, and reference it in the Rendo replies on questions. That is hardly done as well. I'm happy to host info from other contributers, but it's never asked for. Various people are often asked "to write that book" about their Poser knowledge. The book is already there, just waiting to be filled. I'm happy to receive, edit and maintain, it does not have the disadvantages of a forum, and the site is called Missing Manuals for a good reason. No strings attached, except that my site is never going to be a wailing wall for any dissatisfaction on anything. One only has to DO something instead of talking about it.

I would enjoy to see the "hot shots" from the Rendo community acting as a really performing constructively collaborating group.  One day...

all the best,
aRtBee

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
