(additional/corrected?) Lagoa documentation

Post by Hirazi Blue » 14 Nov 2010, 21:31

On the day of the release of 2011.5 it was mentioned on CGTalk
there would be some additional documentation on Lagoa Multiphysics forthcoming.
When can we expect this (and will it include info on the Lagoa Attributes as well)?

this is the second version of this post. The first version was too cynical even by my standards. :D

Well, I don't have any specifics, but I see a stub page was created just days ago.

Well, you're right, obviously, but stub pages are problematic as the public has no idea when they will be replaced with the real content.
I remember there was a stub page created in the WIKI concerning the 2011.5 release shortly after Siggraph, but it obviously took some time before the actual content to that page became available.
And missing documentation that was already known to be missing on the evening of the release, could probably already have surfaced in one way or another by now.
Meanwhile even the stub you mentioned is a week old.... :ymparty:
;)

Yes, and you can find tons of general information, not necessarily Softimage related here :D ,
but that's besides the point.
I'm starting to think I am the last person caring for accurate up-to-date documentation. 8-} Call me old-fashioned that way. I mean, this isn't some open source project, where documentation always is somewhat of an afterthought.

The point is was trying to make was that it has been announced on the day of the 2011.5 release that there would be some corrections/additions to the Lagoa documentation to be published in the near future. And that was about six weeks ago. If nobody @ Softimage had mentioned the planned addendum, perhaps nobody would miss it. But it wás mentioned... :!!
