Im going to sound like a dog with a bone here. Why MR?

Its a great looking model, but if there is no understanding of MR why not stick with spotlights?!!

I see this time and time again on this forum, FG, GI blah blah...but the renders are not great. Dont get me wrong, I understand MR is a great piece of Kit in addition to MAYA but seeing some of the stuff here I think could be rendered better with a 3 point light setup with raytraced 'soft shads'. Get an understanding of lighting set ups before bogging yourself down with the 'latest' thing.

I dont want to take away how much effort has gone into the car but these things need to be taken into account...

Cheers
