Hi, Demian.

Definitely, presets will make your learning curve more smooth - this is
the reason they exists. Think of them as about LEGO breaks you build
your scene from, but at the same time look in manual a for better
understanding.

This is the way I learned POVRay many years ago.
Happy POV-ing ).
