A series of tutorials were created by Paolo Berto in 2007. We know, that is a looong time ago, and they are not up-to-date to the many improvements and new technologies introduced in 3Delight for Maya over the years (such as IPR and GI). Yet, for those interested, some still provide a look at features found in 3Delight for Maya. The Maya scenes are included as well (click on the right column to download).
