Hi all,
I usually work with Rhino, 3DS max and others, can anyone help me to choose the best way to learn Blender to make architectural models, photorealistic rendering and animation using Yafray?
Is it enough the online documentation available at http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Documentation.628.0.html or is better to buy the Blender 2.3 manual at the Blender Shop?
Thanks

Welcome to the Blender community.
The documentation is quiet helpful. There are loads of tutorial on the net and a lot of them are in the documentation section WIKKI check it out under TUTORIAL LINK LIST.
THere is always this great forum called ELYSIUN where almost everyone is willing to help if they have time and they usually give you a reply in a few mins or hours max is 1 day.
There are also plenty of video tutorials at blender.org have a look and try them out.
If you use that manual or purchase the manual use Blender 2.33 so that it follows closely along with the book. If you want to use a more recent blender version (2.41 etc.) use the manual at wiki.blender.org .
