Downloadable mentalray help anywhere?

[haggi]

Hi,

again there come no local help files with the current autodesk releases. Any idea where I can find a downloadable help archive for mr 3.10?

We've used website rippers (website copier) to dload a site before. Just takes awhile is all.

If anyone could make a version of the help in CHM format you would be my new best friend. ;>

Ripping the site was dead simple. Making a CHM. . not so much. Any suggestions?

I have a folder now with the site on it. Not sure how to generate a CHM.

Sidenote: How legal is it for me to yank this off the site?

Try that.

Search doesn't work, naturally.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to post the files. Having them locally is better than not having them at all.

The CHM thing is a little tricky but they are nice to have,especially on an iPad or similar. I love it that someone still takes the time to make them for every Softimage release. While I have done it before they always seem to come out a little wonky and take a while to clean up. PDF works OK - I took the ripped files you posted and made PDFs so at least you can use the search function in that to find what you need. They came out pretty decent - let me know if there are any issues with them.

Here is the link:

It would be great if the tutorial PDFs (not included in my download) were updated. Enjoy,
