What exactly is the PDF missing? If there are indeed serious gaps, I'll be glad to fill them.
I do not discuss loading the avatars into Atmosphere, because that is an Atmosphere function that is not unique to Avatar Lab.
I do not discuss the Atmosphere UI because Atmosphere is an Adobe product and they should document that.
I do not discuss using the Viewpoint files published by Avatar Lab for other applications such as Web pages, etc. because integrating Viewpoint content into these apps is a Viewpoint process and should be documented by Viewpoint.
Basically, I tried to describe the application thoroughly without crossing the line to discuss other applications. When you publish your avatars, they will be in a form ready for including in Atmosphere worlds or on Web pages (see www.egisys.de and click the beared man for an example of Viewpoint content and also go to www.viewpoint.com).
I agree there needs to be documentation discussing the integration of all these apps, however due to branding, etc., this needs to be done by a third party unless other arrangements are made. As Atmosphere draws near final release, I will be contacting their docs team to talk about 'cross-pollinating' our documentation so it's more rounded out.
All that said, if there are gaps in the document that I can address, please email docs@curiouslabs.com and I will evaulate each comment received and, if deemed necessary, update the docs. Due to time, I can't respond personally to all input; I apologize in advance and assure you that I'll read all I get.
