Well they said they will be doing a chm for Vray 1.5. Also about downloading the file, once the whole thing is done, updates are updates and are added to the file so the users would just redownload the "New" chm file, tutorials and all, and there you go.
Personnally, I don't understand this argument because once the help file is compiled into a chm when anything is added it is re-compiled and uploaded to the support part of the Vray site and people can download at will. Surely looking at a chm file within Max is far prefferable to going onto the internet - logging in - clicking the link to the help file? If people have problems with simply using a help file then I can't understand how they can use Vray, let alone Max. In addition, I would rather have pertinent information at hand rather than going onto the internet. If one doesn't know where the help files are they clearly haven't invested much time in Vray and if they want to compare Chaos to NL that is their problem! Also making a chm that is kept up to date will avoid the problem that you illustrated about not finding a tutorial a, b, c or whatever and surely that is better than Vlado and the team wasting development time answering questions that are in a compiled chm help file that comes with the installation when one buys Vray. Sorry, I just think your argument is weak at best.
BEsides the fact that the docs are still updated another major issues are the tutorials...Vlado added some kickass tuts when they were ASKED for.....i can already see threads like this comming if chaos would do an official downloadable doc:
Question : I want to do xyz...how to do that?
Answer : look up the tut on XYZ in the docs...it explains it all
Question : WTF! MY DOCS DONT HAVE THAT TUT!!! I WAS RIPPED OFF!
Answer : you need to check the online docs to be up to date
Question : Where are they! Noone told me! this is almost as bad as next limit! WTF!
Razz You get my point i assume Razz
And personally i prefer vlado and the rest of chaos working on 1.5 rather then doing daily doc-snapshots *evilgrin*
