Manual for a real beginner?

[Suricate]

Hi wulfie,

there is no printed manual, only the help file. In the 'General Info' section of that file there is a chapter about using messiah with other apps, that should help.

I'd suggest loading up messiah:animate as a stand alone app and learn from there first.

Go through the basic interface stuff first, load up all the example scenes and get a 'feel' for messiah:animate, then you can worry about connecting/sending your animation to LW down the track.

Thank you so much for your replies to my post.

Just where is the help file....or the general information. I agree getting a feel for Messiah is best as a stand-alone app. I managed to load a tutorial.....locate wireframe, bounding box settings etc. But little things like changing views...top side camera etc and making a keyframe I haven't found yet. Sometimes it's just a little thing like the alt key or the right mouse button but if you don't know you don't know.

Thanks again for your help!!!!

Just look for a file called 'messiah_docs.chm' in the messiah/docs folder.

Just look for a file called 'messiah_docs.chm' in the messiah/docs folder.Or use the File tab right-click context menu.
