+1; Octane C4D is awesome, but it could eliminate probably 70% of the amount of questions Ahmet has to answer if some of ArcaneParadigm's suggested changes were made. Example: instead of the label 'Power' for emission sources, have 'Power(Watts)' or 'Power(W)'. That would answer a ton of questions immediately.

There is a picture here

of all these different archetypes - are these materials anywhere to be found ?
More notation on the sliders as to what they do
on the index - labeling that says where water , glass etc would be - I gotta go look it up every time I want it to be real world values
Just seems like there must be a way to label stuff and have meta-materials that make it EASIER for the novice to get to a high level look without being a rocket scientist that needs to know every little way of tweaking the system to make it work
instead have a way of using presets on all the menus - camera imager - settings etc so people can trade more stuff and that you can uplift everyone faster to get tremendous results instead of everyone having to figure out every little ideosynchricity of your software to make it work right - more more more materials - the easiest way to make any software useful is to give the user hi quality examples the more you give the more valuable your software is and the faster people can jump into it and use it immedietly without wasting valuable time learning /
more labeling on the sliders - they are not very intuitive - I have to constantly go look up what each does - little hover help or something would save so much time for everyone learning it - if each person has to spend a couple of hours each trying to learn and remember what it is - a few words around the slider would intuitively allow them to grasp it you'd be saving tremendous hours right there
