Rendering 3DS Max/Vray>Composite

I've nearly completed the Thinking Particles 1 training DVD, and when it comes to render setup, the author assumes his target audience is more advanced than I am.  I have completed the particle set up, and assigned the materials.  If anyone is familiar with this set, could you recommend a tutorial on setting up Vray to render the various passes necessary to complete this project?  I'm using Max 2012 with Vray 2.0.  I planned to use Composite 2012 for compositing.  Any help is appreciated.
