Daz software is supported by active forums, in program tutorials and video tuturials. Bible style guides went out with dvd copies of software. The pace that daz studio moves makes it prohibitive to put resourxes into developing this type of guide. And really i would prefer to see the DS development team spending time innovatimg the software not writing voluminous manuals that would be obselete faster than they are ever completed.

Modern software users tend to prefer intelligent UI design with tool tips and online support. Really what makes a bible style manual better then any of these other methods? Other than personal preference for a small minority of users.

We are not the borg, we do not all assimilate in exactly the same way. A user manual is useful for those of us who want to read stuff. Poking about on a dying forum with a rubbish search isn't my idea of learning. In addition not everyone has the time or inclination or bandwidth to spend time online searching for stuff or viewing videos. I suspect there are quite a few people who pick up daz studio discover the lack of documentation and then drop it again. The learning curve is getting steeper and steeper. I never understand why some daz fanboi's seem to think that everyone should be happy to hunt and peck for information.
