Re: some questions
1 - On the Documentation page there's a tutorial (PDF) dealing with all plug-ins, including links for download. 2 - To make a video, you can use the function 3D view --> Create video from within SH3D. The User's guide explains how to do this.

thank you, i already know the ceate video function, but for example, if my animation takes 300 frames and the total rendering time is up to 1 day, i can't leave my pc on for all the time, i've to stop him in the night, so i need a function who could render all the frames in a directory and then i can make i video with virtualdub or avidemux. i wonder if is possible to render the animation with 2 pc, for example 300 frames with the first pc and 100 with the second pc

Re: some questions
No, it's not possible to interrupt the process of making a video. You could try to make several (very) short videos and use a different program to join them together.

Re: some questions
i could propose it for the new version :D i've tried to render an image with advanced rendering tools, but when i choose silk instead of glossy the rendering process take up to 15 minutes for a 1024x768 image, my computer' hardware is: asrock x58 deluxe3, core i7 930, 6gb ram, raid 0 hdd samsung (2x500gb), 2x hd5850 :D is this a plug-in bug, or it is too heavy to compute?

Re: some questions
Of course you can propose that as a feature. Several people have asked for this or a similar feature before. Use the wishlist and maybe Santa Claus will read it :-)
There is no need to use the AdvancedRendering plug-in: since version 3.0, all its functions have been integrated into the main program, and the plug-in is no longer maintained.
Here you can read about "How can I speed up the rendering process in photo and video creation panes?" Use that info to see if you can shorten the rendering time. One other suggestion that can decrease rendering times: make objects that are not in view of the camera invisible.
Whether or not 15 minutes is a long time to render your image is impossible to say. There are many factors influencing render times.
