A series of six tutorials were created by Paolo Berto in 2009. 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), but some still provide an overview of features found in 3Delight for Maya. The Maya scenes are included as well (click on the right column to download).
