- Hiya Mark,
- you're in the same boat as several dozens of other people. I'm
- a member of the Imagine Mailing List, and I can tell you right now
- some of the more experienced members are working on a "Grass Roots"
- manuals, just for beginners, and for experienced users as well.
- However it probably won't be done a for a few months, in the
- meantime, you can check out Steve Worley's early edition of how-to
- on the Detail Editor (which you called the "graphics editor" in your
- post)... You can find it on the "Dare to Imagine" page at
-
- http://www.ncinter.net/~iansmith/d2i/DETAIL.EDITOR.html
-
- Make sure of the punctuation there. You'll also find several other
- helpful hints and tips if you go to my page and follow some of
- the links

- Best of luck, and happy rendering!
