Hey,

Other than the videos and posts on this forum, we can't supply any other documentation.
We're currently building a documentation wiki site.

It will be available soon, if things go well i think in about a week.
I suggest you play around with stuff, to figure out what does what

any questions, ask in the forums here...

i view the video now and i understand what are the icon on the top....but not the others!!

Can you help me? Please

the icons below (on the nodegraph editor),
allow you to toggle previews.

eg if you click on a material node, the viewport will change to a material ball with your material so you can preview it.
those 4 icons allow you to enable / disable this for the 4 kinds if viewable nodes,
eg rendertargets, objects (meshes), materials, and textures.

There's a short PDF manual with the commercial 1.0b1 release, I suspect it will be added to the next demo.
