Hi all,

I had a 'quick' look at underseth's final gathering settings. Thanks mate for the research!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also found a page (mind you XSI base) that has some settings for using Mental Ray in xsi (that may be translated into Maya).

The render times appear pretty quick to me (but hey I'm new to mental ray in Maya).
