Here it is.

User Reference manual 1.6.1 for Wings 3D is up.
this is a 4.8MB pdf manual.

You can download it from the following two locations

Wings 98.xx User Manual - from wings3d.com (http://www.wings3d.com/wings3d_manual1.6.1.pdf)

Wings 98.xx User Manual - from byjason.com (http://www.byjason.com/log/archive/wings3d_manual1.6.1.pdf)

Revisions include;
New layout for double sided printing
Updated interface shots for 98.10e (yeah missed 98.11 by a few hours) 30% of the manual
Information on UV Mapping. about 99% complete
Information on using YafRay on PC and some info for Mac. Sorry no linux info yet
Updated export and import list
Art added from contributers in wings dev forum
A basic cover image will do a better one when I get more time

Color enhancements... Shortcuts are marked in red in the text
Bookmarks in the PDF for quick access to most info
TOC at end give complete list of all subjects by page number (until I get a working index)

You can let me know any problems or wants for the next one. I named this the User Reference Manual since we will be working on a more official one when the time comes. I hope to keep this updated and concurrent to the wings releases. So with 98.11 out I'm back to the pages for update 1.7

WOW!

Excelent stuff!

Just started taking a look at it. It looks fantastic.

This is a great help!

The Reference Guide to Hot Key Assignents is a must!


Thanks :bounce:


Best regards

your welcome!

:beer:

Going to rest this weekend and continue working on it next week.

want to add in 98.11s new tools and try to hammer out more info on the UV Mapping area. Still abit cloudy on how some of the commands work in the AutoUV section. Also have to fill in the Outliner info and the Geometryt Graph info.

Started laying out and wrting some of the stuff for the intro.

That's a great looking manual Jason! Excellent work!! Just one tiny little note and not really a big issue....the wireframe image of mine that you used is actually a Wings3d screen capture and not a C4D render. The color image is a C4D render as you have it listed. ;)

I'll fix in the next release
