Quite necessary
Excellent from front to back and highly technical. This isn't an intro level book and it'd be nice if Wiley updates the mentalRay section to Arnold, but otherwise, it's a required read in the 3D graphics world with Maya

He Does It Again! Another Great Book By Lee Lanier
It's always a pleasure reading through a book written by Lee Lanier, because you know you're getting the knowledge and experience of a true professional that knows what he's talking about. Having been fortunate enough to have been a student of Lee's before, I am glad to see that Lee is just as helpful and thorough in his book as he was as a teacher. Great job with the book Lee!
