Advanced RenderMan: Creating CGI for Motion Pictures

Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Wonderful!
Review: Wow. That's all I can say. This is a collection of several inches of the kind of information you spend endless nights digging around the 'net searching for. It's not all just renderman related stuff, it also works with BMRT (which is free) and there's a great deal about how movies are made, as well as good art direction tips.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to read it, but there's still a lot of good stuff, especially about writing shaders, which was my main interest.

To the authors: Great work! More! More! :-)
