Here are some suggestions for new users to start with:
| • | Try the Quick Start Guide, which will get you rendering textures as quickly as possible. |
| • | Follow the tutorials. We offer a number of illustrated tutorials that are designed to get you on your feet as effortlessly as possible. |
| • | Play with the preset textures. Exploring and editing ready-made textures is a great way to learn Genetica for two reasons. First, you get to see all our tricks. Second, there's no reason to reinvent the wheel--starting with a pre-made texture that is already similar to the look you want can help you achieve your goals in minutes. |
| • | Try the Synthesis node. The easiest way to make textures is from photographs. The Synthesis will let you do that. |
| • | Try the Canvas node. This node will allow you to create things with common tools that you may be familiar with already. |
| • | Build your library. Save every little thing you do that looks like it could be at all useful down the road. Anything you make in Genetica can be reused and incorporated into bigger and better textures. |
| • | Visit www.spiralforums.biz. The on-line Genetica community is a great place to share your work and ask questions. We're here to help! |
