This tutorial is a guide to using HDR panoramic images for lighting with Maya and mental ray. Throughout the tutorial, we’ll cover all of the hidden details that are needed to use HDR imagery for lighting in Maya. We’ll start with physically based lighting, world scene scale, color management, proper render preview and verification of valid floating point linear color images. Once the rules for using HDR images are clearly laid out, we will take a look at how you can create your own HDR images at home using a DSLR camera, tripod, nodal head and software. Lastly, we’ll go over examples of using and editing these images for a variety of indoor and outdoor lighting situations as well as covering light extraction and making HDR kooks from an HDR photo of a light.

Thank you :)
Nice! Just starting with maya, I love this tutorials (and this amazing website)!
I hope we could get the torrent soon!
Then you are genius, if you use this tutorial while “just starting with maya”. I am proud to be with you on the same site.
And I appreciate as well your comments “torrent please” (as well as the same comments of other people). It is really worth my time to open the comments and to see “torrent please”.
I?m starting with Maya and collecting some tutorials, but I already know 3Ds Max, so this is an advantage ;)
Good luck!
PS
“I already know 3Ds Max, so this is an advantage” sounds better like
“I already know 3Ds Max, so it is the lost time”
I know Maya, Houdini and 3DS Max and use each of those for different purposes.
Only an ignorant can claim that learning something can be a loss of time
