? Reading.
? Read the newsgroup.
? Read the course notes.
? Last but not least, read and follow instructions


That is all.

Keep in mind that you essentially only get an equivalent of Draw.Dot and build everything else yourself.

From a guy I know who took that course: http://jzila.com/?p=50

After far too much work and way too many all-nighters, I?m finally closing in on my final scene. As you can see, texturing is working quite nicely. Combined with depth of field and soft shadows, the marble chessboard looks quite realistic. I don?t yet have KD-tree optimizations working, so this took 55 minutes to render on an octal core EC2 instance (7h, 21m, 41s of user time).
