I'm finding new Mantra so much different from 8 - specially of course in PBR respect but not only - that all I knew about its optimization, workflow, caches, photons etc. went away and it's not valid. Does SESI planes some serious introduction in new technics which will cover all details about this field?

I know that docs are pretty good now. I find more and more useful stuff there but this is not the same as one-complite-overview of new technology which accompanies realizing of any new technology out there.


thanks,
sy.

yeah I second that, expecially with examples of fluids and clouds etc

The key would be a “unified” overview of the topic and not a bunch of how-to's and tricks. I still struggle with the rendering coming from a max background.
