About the New Features
in Shake 4
This document covers all of the new features and
enhancements introduced in Shake 4.
If you are already familiar with previous versions of Shake, this document lets you focus
on the extensive new enhancements and additions.
Note: All of information in this document is duplicated from the Shake 4 User Manual
included in your Shake box and available in PDF-format from the Shake Help menu.
Changes to the Shake Documentation
The print and onscreen (PDF-format) documentation has been completely reorganized
and expanded from prior versions.
User Manual
The user manual has been divided into more chapters to make topics easier to find in
the table of contents and in the bookmarks drawer of the onscreen PDF. In addition,
the documentation of many prior features has been expanded.
Node Reference Guide
Scripting and variables documentation for each of Shake’s functions, previously located
in the user manual, has been moved to a new document: the
Shake 4 Node Reference
Guide , accessible from the Shake Help menu.
The Cookbook
The Cookbook—a popular collection of tips and techniques for improving your
workflow in Shake—has been relocated from the tutorials book to to the last chapter
of the user manual. What’s more, content from the Cookbook has been integrated into
the rest of the manual, where appropriate, to make these topics more accessible.
