Lgihting and rendering techniques

[beaker]

Jeremy Birn's book: Digital Lighting and Rendering
http://3drender.com/light/index.html
It's really more concepts of lighting/rendering in cgi rather than being software specific so you can use the techniques in most software packages. He posts on cgtalk, so maybe he will add to this. His web site also has many nice tutorials. Again concepts that work in almost any package(the best kind of tuts).

For maya specific stuff, Gnomon has two rendering dvds by Jeremy Engleman:
