This chapter presents an overview of Smoke and the structure of this guide. The Smoke Basics section walks you through a simple session in Smoke. This is followed by topics that correspond to the sections in this guide. Each section provides a brief description of its function, and links to the chapters that you will most likely refer to.
The non-linear nature of Smoke is designed to accommodate the actual creative process. It is likely you will visit some sections a number of times, and not necessarily in the order presented.
