What’s in the box?
Our IT department does all of our software installs. They claim that all that shipped with vers.10 was the install disk and a Quickstart manual. Is this true? Is all of the documentation electronic now? Thanks!

this is true – the help is now HTML based (installed as a language pack, included on the install disc)
I don’t think R9 came with printed manuals either – only PDF (C4D 8 was the last printed manual)
I think you can purchase a manual from Maxon if you really want one.

AFAIK MAXON only offered a printed manual for v9 (for additional costs). CINEMa 4D 10 is only available with the online help which basically offers the complete documentation as searchable HTML pages.

There’s been a lot of debate over whether this is a good thing, but I personally think it’s great. You can right-click any parameter in the Attributes Manager and there’s a help link that takes your directly to the relevant part of the html docs. Much faster than looking it up in the paper manual or .pdf.

So no manual exists that you can buy or download?
-
The manual is part of the online help.

But no good way to print it? I guess we’ll have to stick with your book, Arndt. (Three 5-star reviews on Amazon so far!)

Well, what can I say 😉
