 Super! March 15, 2008
Arrival was a little slow, but it was in perfect condition when it got here and is the best lighting reference I own!
Must!! Invaluable resource!!!!!! March 8, 2008
This book is a 'must have' for any artist in the CG industry. The book covers topics on caustics, global illumination, final gathering, subsurface scattering and HDRI.
The additional chapters on interior/exterior lighting, color, texturing have all been expanded with greater detail than the first edition.
I recommend it to all artists and lighting TD in CG.
 Excellent buy!!! March 4, 2008

I needed it for my Maya Lighting class, excellent book if you are new to lighting and rendering. Looking for a understanding of lighting & rendering terms along with good examples of the techniques, this is what you are looking for. It is not software specific, just a guide to lighting in the CG world.
Excellent overview of Digital lighting March 4, 2008

I use DAZ Studio and many of the advanced features mentioned in this book are not available to me. Still, I found this book to be an excellent source of information. My renders have improved greatly, just in lighting alone. I am nearly through my first reading and can't wait to read it again. This book is a must have for anyone wanting to do digital rendering. It has also helped me in photography as well. I will never look at lighting in a room the same way again. Excellent!
Learn your particular rendering software, then buy this book.

I purchased several books on texturing, rendering, and lighting for the digital world and have discovered that this one was by far one of the most useful. Despite not having anything geared towards a specific program (or perhaps because of that), this book was able to cover tremendous ground that can be applied to any program. What I loved about this books specifically is that it improved my rendering techniques in all my digital art, as I use multiple programs. Highly recommended.
