Interior Scene
Mental ray render of an old c4d model I made. I've tried lighting this in a way other than using the usual sun and sky and final gather, by using area lights with GI photons. The ceiling of the model has a window plus there is a window at the front, both have area lights, with mental ray portals plugged in. The concrete tends to make the render look dirty, so I may try a plainer material.
Comments welcome

Could not agree more I would like to see more lighting you can make the mest model in the world but it will look bad without good lighting, I think you were talking about one of my scenes I think.......LOL........daveIt's nice to see lighting on the forum, you don't that often. This is a really good effort and mental ray is very tricky to get to grips with. Certainly it's much more accomplished than most other lighting attempts seen on the forum.

Certainly not Dave. There was the previous a disparaging remark that probably came from a troll. You don't see much lighting on the forum, and I like what I see in this thread. That's all.Could not agree more I would like to see more lighting you can make the mest model in the world but it will look bad without good lighting, I think you were talking about one of my scenes I think.......LOL........dave
