Regards Karl R Pettersen Hello Karl, Not sure if this will work for you, go to realsoft.com, click on software updates and log in, you just need your registration number, ect. There you will, hopefully, find the manuals in .pdf format, and also in my new favorite, .chm format. The .chm format manual contains the user and reference manuals. The .chm manual is search-able, .etc. If these are not there, it is probably that you have not upgraded. If this is the case, hopefully RS can enable access to the new manual for all users. Hope this helps, Zaug I apologize, I was too quick to respond and did not read your mail very well; I see that you have looked there already. Zaug
Re: trees
Hi Arjo, Yes, the new Plant tool is really addictive, I spent whole evenings fiddling with parameters! Has to be one of the most advanced plant generating tools around. They are memory-hungry but by careful tuning I managed to generate and render pretty complex trees on a 2.5 GB 32bit system. It's one reason to go for 64bit and 8 GB ram, though. Good luck, looking forward to see some of your results, -Mark Hi, Now that the trees got leaves again I'm planning to create a few trees with the plant tool. I also tried the new render as instance feature of course. This really is a breath taking feature. I created a lowpoly tree (little more than 3K polygons) for export reasons. I put 22500 trees on a surface. This means I used about 85 million polygons. They render without any problem. Arjo.

Re: Manual, where?
Hi I tried again today, and I was actually able to find the manuals, but only the pdf versions. However, I had to go into the SGI IRIX version. No manuals apparently available when I logged onto the Windows or Linux versions. I think Realsoft should update their pages, even though I suspect the manuals to be the same :) Karl R On Tue, 20 May 2008 13:48:58 +0200, Zaug [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Karl wrote: Hi The page http://www.realsoft.com/cgi-bin/news/print?gid=33uid=80 states: The User Manual is available as easily printable pdf file for registered users free of cost.

I am not sure what is available for Windoze to view .chm files with, but hopefully there is a nice one with bookmarks, etc.. I think they have to enable certain things to be shown for each user's login, depending on license, architecture, etc.. When I log in, I have access to all manual downloads and all Linux versions.
