| heather not to worry- i am a long time iclone user and i have yet to touch or learn how to use a number of features even on iclone 2 - i basically use what i need for the movie i am working on and that is usually the time i try to learn a specific feature
i see many folks worrying about not knowing how to use all the features - my advice is don't worry about knowing all of it - work on a project, break it down into scenes and work on each scene, use what you know and ask a question on how to do a specific thing on a scene
eventually you'll get used to the flow and pick things up as you make more movies

You know there are lots of things I really don't know what to do with. The flex base for instance - how do I use that. God! I'm so uninformed. Wish there was a book!Hello Heather. I just thought I would make a humblising addition to my particles pictures above. When I reference "easy" I'm actually making comparative reference to being able "now" to control the VOLUME and POSITION, DEPTH, HEIGHT of a particles' active space.
Before, you could not see the box it was within OR the core of it.
Now, you can.
So, rather than rolling forwards and back, adjusting, rolling forwards and back, adjusting and on and on, you simply reshape and watch the results on screen live. And the others are right. The bit by bit approach is best. Who on earth could ever claim they knew all the particle behaviour variations with so many combinations & adjustments. What do I do?
How do I learn myself?
I open a flag.
I bring up its control screen and change a value/number.
I run the preview and watch the flag move now.
I change something else.
I run it and watch.
I change something else a larger number if nohing noticeable happened.
I run it and watch the changes.
Sometimes I adjust something and it all goes completely haywire nutzo.
Or sometimes I change something and visually nothing happens because the value I changed was toooooooo small. That's all I do. Nothing else.
I am no master guru programmer.
Thats my learning method.
I dont know another one.
Hands on works.
