Rendering Tutorials

[bcrutchfield]

Can anyone suggest a good rendering tutorial? One that is very detailed in materials, lighting, mapping, etc. I have taken a class and learned the the basics on rendering, but I am looking for something that is more extensive than just the basics.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you could have a look at a few tutorials on this site. How about:

or

or
