I just purchased C4 Pro online last night, (electronic delivery) and was so excited when the download completed. However, I soon became frustrated because it seems that the .pdf version of the manual was not included. Has this happened to anyone else? Also, is there anyone who has the .pdf documentation that would be willing to post it somewhere that I can download it. I'm going to get on the phone with tech support on Monday, but it'd be great if I could get my hands on a copy so I can start reading about the new features. Thanks in advance. -Scott

hi Scott! really sorry to hear this, i'm sure that if you contact Eovia they will give you all the necessary support. Take care -TOXE

 

The pdf of the manual is accessible through the help menu (select Carrara Help). Even though it is not exactly the same format (one column instead of two columns) it is exactly the text of the manual. Charles

Thanks, I eventually found it there. Seems that the helpfile is mapped to the classic version of adobe acrobat -- the first computer i tried viewing it on didn't have classic installed -- so it got all confused. i'm still trying to figure out why eovia would choose to embed the pdf inside the application, rather than making it available to say copy to another computer so you can read it in on-screen on one machine while working on another one. and in typical eovia fashion, the manual lacks many of the specifics that would make it useful -- like details on how the network render works -- does it treat mulit-processor machines as one or two nodes; is there a performance loss when a really slow computer is in the render chain; is there an advantage to having machines of equivalent speed or processor type; etc. now i have the jolly task of experimenting to figure this stuff out on my own. but hey, at least they threw the feature in. i suppose that's better than nothing. -scott
