Well... after putting some work into it, I have noticed that a full book might bloat to around a 1000 pages. The Rigging Tools guide is 145 by itself. In order to ensure that the PDF offers the most value - I'll have to cut it into chunks, describing each topic of DAZ Studio.
The Complete Guide to DAZ Studio 4 book pdf
Yes, please! Studio documentation is woefully inadequate and I'm sure a proper, complete, comprehensive manual would be more than welcome. A guide to Iray shader mixer would be a big help. I'm working on a line of shaders for fabrics like organza and various satins but it's not going well. Trial and error is slow.
You might consider a quick "Getting started in DS" for complete Newbies, in particular covering the frequent pitfalls they often hit, like "Where is my content?" which is typically because they installed it in a non-standard location and did not add that location to the content directories. Such a guide would only be a few pages, as anything longer might scare a Newbie off. You could consider releasing it for free as a way to promote your remaining chapters that people would buy when they wish to become more advanced.
Please, no. There's already a surplus of books that are basically quick start guides out there, one of which - "A Primer for DAZ Studio: Your easy way to learn 3D rendering and animation" by Anne Marie Rasmussen, whose PA name is Rhiannon - is exceelent in terms of the material it covers, although the formatting of the book is set up for a PC or a larger tablet. The kindle version is $14.95 at Amazon. For beginners, there's also Ironman13 and Fugazzi's set of video tutorials -studio-beginner-to-advanced which is generally quite good, if basic. The only issuesI have with this one is that Ironman is a much better presenter than Fugazzi.
