Visual Help File with Screen Grabs and Question

[rjanders0003]

Hello Tyson

1st let me say I stumbled across TyFlow by accident a week ago, and I am totally stunned by both the quality and current state of this work in progress.

I live in a remote area, not such good internet (north NH) so I wanted to download the help documentation, I know you have great detailed online help. Anyway I started making my own visual PDF with index and lots of screen grabs, using your text of course and your format, just added lots of screen grabs. Its just how I prefer to work with visual help. I have a little while to go before I finish it - lol - lots of operators.

As I got to the Array / Branch and couple more operators I noticed they had no help info for the top tabs - they seem common "filter" and "timing" rollouts - I think there was one third item in the next few operators - is it by design, there is no help for these rollouts at this stage ? or is that still a work in progress

Also - its only at the 55 page completion, lots more work - but I have attached my work in progress on the help file, see if you approve or ?? I will finish it for me, but thought something like this might be helpful to others.

Thanks for this great work of yours, i hope you take it to completion

edit: i just remembered the third operator element I saw with no help - the Grow operator has "filters" / "timing" and in addition a "test action rollout" with no mention in the help - regards rob

EDIT - 5/6/20 - I am getting close to finishing this visual help - so i removed the attachment - only 15 operators and couple other things to go - its looking awesome

Just wanna say, thank you for making this bro.
It would be also cool adding some short video clips representing different values for friction, various binding options.. etc.
If I manage to do some short tests that are very clear, I'll definitely post them in this thread.
(and I encourage everyone to do the same).

Cheers

Working on getting it completed - but a lot of operators - I am about half way through them

Hey Rob,

Unfortunately the static site builder I use for the documentation (Hugo) does not have a "compile for offline" option....a decent chunk of people have asked for offline docs over the last year but I just don't have the time or energy to adapt or re-write the current docs for offline viewing so they've been out of luck. ...so it's very generous of you to compile such a file!

The help files for the "common" tabs (timing, filters, test, keyframes, etc) are on the main Operators page here:

http://docs.tyflow.com/tyflow_particles/operators/

Anyways, I'd suggest posting a link to your compilation on the Facebook tyFlow Group as well, as you'll get lots of eyes on it there too

I have sat down for days (over a week now) I know this is not your priority - I have honored all your layout designs etc .... I have made what I think is a wonderful offline help file with tons of screen grabbs - quick link front page with image mapped links to all operators - I am up to page 250 and only 16 operators to go.

If you want - when I am done, you can have my original word file if this is helpful in future - its been a lot of work - but I just wanted to contribute - I should have it finished soon (a few days)

its in PDF format - with index and hyperlinked fron page - tested and working awesome in Acrobat Reader and Microsoft Edge
