As a long-time Brycer, I find that I take certain things about Bryce for granted. This was recently brought home to me by a question someone put to me (in a PM...). So, I would like to know how the relative new-comers to our beloved program would respond to some related questions.
This is primarily aimed at those who have gotten Bryce since it was acquired by DAZ, but any old-timers who would like to chip in their twocentsworth are also welcome to comment. This is purely a personal survey, with NO official weight, so don't feel like Big Brother is watching.
Anyway, here's the questions:
1a. If you have a manual, do you consult it, and how often do you consult it?
1b. If you do not have a manual, do you consult the online reference pages that DAZ has up? How often?
1c. Do you find either the manual/reference pages useful as reference material? Easy to use? Annoying? Frustrating?
Assuming you do not use the manual/reference pages, then:
2. If you need information, do you like/dislike online tutorials?
3. If you need information, do you like/dislike asking in a Bryce forum?
4. I would like to hear general comments/opinions on the state of Bryce help/reference. Please this is NOT asking for comments/opinions about the state of the program itself, just the state of and efficiency of resources for help for Bryce.
Anyway, that's the general survey.
To get the ball rolling, here are how I would respond:
I have a manual, but consult it seldom if ever. But that is more because I tend to stay within my comfort zone, and not venture into the scary depths of the DTE, for example. I occasionally use/consult online tutorials, if I see that they are focused enough to meet my particular need at the time.
