Autodesk has released the technical white paper for Render Pass Concepts and Techniques as a supplement to the users guide for Maya versions 2009 to 2011. Maya has always had one of the BEST software documentation that I have ever used -the best, Jerry! I would hope and wish that other software companies take a look at how detailed and in depth the Maya docs actually are, and now with the releases of these white papers, they have become even better. The paper comes with some example files as well to tinker around with.
