Okay, so I have trueSpace 2, now what do I do with it? There's no manual and the 'trueSpace 2 Bible' is out of print and hard to find as is the 'Caligari trueSpace 2 3D Modeling Construction Kit' and 'trueSpace 2 for Dummies'. I looked for some tutorials, but didn't find much on the basics. I did find a tutorial at trueSpace Envy on making a clock, but of course the tutorial assumed you knew the basics of using trueSpace. I did a lot of undoing and clicking this button and that one until I figured it out. See the results of the clock tutorial here.

So I decided to put together a little section on using trueSpace 2 for those of us just learning how to use it. I've tried to be a little logical in putting this together. First, I describe each of the menus, panels, buttons, etc., then I put together a tutorial so that you can practice using each of the tools. I don't know what everything does and if you do or find something wrong here, please let me know so I can add/fix it. Thanks. Update: I was able to find a copy of 'Caligari trueSpace2 3D Modeling Construction Kit' so I'll be able to add more than I thought I would.

Hopefully, as I become more experienced, I'll add some more tS2 tutorials. The basics for other versions of tS are the same although the buttons may be in different places and more or less options available.
