I ll try to do some renderings with your settings and see how it works,

Understand I am using Fg for and outdoor building, when u say accuracy 30 in FG what are u reffering to, the number of rays? 30 seems to be a little small.

Anyway great help, all I need to do is post an image. Now that this will be solved the issue is how to set up maya with mental ray for an animation.

It seems to be exporting everysingle frame each time from Maya to MR, not a good thing.... 3800 frames would take 3 weeks for a HDTV 720 format with FG GI and Ray trace, /./.... there really is no other way, DMAP is fast but the results... poor.

So i found some server software like iRush and Vertex.
Was not able to test them yet but will today or tomorrow.

Aderium.
