  1. The printed manual
  2. The Carrara 5 Pro Handbook
  3. Any of the training DVDs

Just curious.

I always get a printed manual somehow. So, #1.

Probably 2 or 3. I am ok with pdf to search when I want. Rather have printed manual, but I find a good resource w/ specific examples of areas I don't fully understand helpful. The manual, for instance didn't look to much on bvh.

No need to think outside the box....

Probably all 3 eventually. But if No. 2 works out I might not buy 1 or 3. I really prefer a printed book. That way I can read while I'm rendering.

I think only 2) The pdf is allright for me (but I am bored with seeing the same primitive-made scenes and the tired illustrations for the 5th time...). The best training for me is just to try things.

1, and possibly 2

For me, the PDF is OK to check how the software functions. What I really need is info on how to do specific effects. For example, how to make a shader that simulates scratches on metal. So, probably 2 and maybe 3.

Well, before 1, 2 or 3, I think I will upgrade to C5 Pro first! But a printed manual is a good idea.
