In the Maya Software tab of your render globals, and set the Quality to "Production Quality".

That should help.

K, I'm stupid. Whenever I render something, the shadows never appear. I have shadows turned on in the lighting tab too....

Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

I think mental ray should fix all that up nicely. But, I understand where your problem was pixel, glad you fixed it.

repeat after me:

mental ray is not a substitute for real lighting! mental ray is not a substitute for real lighting! mental ray is not a substitute for real lighting!

mental ray is a tool that can be used like any other. The maya software renderer can give you great results too. Don't just turn on FG and hope that it looks ok user added image
