Getting started

The first couple of tutorial videos were very instructive, but how am I supposed to know/understand what all the other functions available in the rt-click menu do?

Not complaining, just checking what the best way is to get started...

Thanks!

Maybe compiling a help doc with the most commonly used function by category (arithmetic, utility, geometry, etc.) would help? We are still investigating the best way of making the nodes more discoverable within then UI. For now you kind of have you guess what you want. Suggestions welcome, so far our best solution is to have a categorical tree-view and things like most-used and suggested nodes popping up based on what you have selected.

Any documentation would be much appreciated.

The 'usual' arithmetic stuff is propably self-explanatory for most with a little bit of programming experience. The 'special' stuff is what is interesting: geometry, UI, 3ds Max special functions...

Agree with Martin. Plus, some more info on the "special renaming" like in the controller tutorial, where just renaming a field in "time" gives time value...

Yes, I think it will be really useful. I just started to play with it, and following your videos is clear, but it will be good to have some documentation to start something from scratch....

Thanks
