Reality Documentation/Tutorials?

I purchased Reality 4 today, but haven't a clue how or where to learn to use it. I don't see any obvious documentation. I'm HOPING it's right in front of me somewhere. I love the results I see with it, but don't even know where to begin in terms of setting up a scene for rendering with it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Bob

    The documentation is in the help menu, If I remember that correctly a few pages back in the Reality thread.
    Yea, you need to install it correctly, to get to the documentation. I never understood that mentality.

    There may be a few vids to show the interface being used (like at youtube), The reality website may be another good place to check.

    (EDIT)
    Ah, older docs may be of some help.

    If your using Studio, grab that one.

    It is really new, and there are allot of teething pains at the moment, with every one asking, how do i.

    there is also a 160+page pdf Reality Users Guide (RUG) in the folder Reality 4 installs to when you install it, it will appear when you register the software.

    I'm going through the RUG right now.. it's pretty nice, and there are links to tutorial videos for Poser and DS. :)

    Looks like it's written in LaTeX, which is kinda cool (my name is mentioned in the LaTeX Book). There's a dangling figure number reference, though.

    If you go to YouTube and search for PretA3D you will find some video tutorials he recently published. I would provide you with the link but every time I put in a link in a post it gets removed.

    ..in the shot time since I installed and registered Reality I am already running tests albeit on a simpler scene than my previous sesions with 2.5. Love the new UI a lot more. For one, it lists the objects in the materials tab wit the various zones as a subset. So much easier to use. The skin and cloth presets are nice additions (and the Skin material is a default).

    The only thing I don't see that the 2.5 interface had is a button to save the current settings, or is that done now just by saving the scene?


    Of course need to go though the user guide to really get into the more finer points. this is just an "out of the box" test.
