Digital Lighting & Rendering

Jeremy Birn, 2000

This is an excellent book if you need to understand how to light your scenes properly and produce pleasing results. It is not dependant on any software package yet covers important basics such as lighting workflow and setup, qualities of light, shadow, colour, and even exposure. Composition and staging is discussed much like in photography, followed by a primer on materials, texture, rendering, and compositing. You get to understand what it takes to make a scene look realistic.
