Hey VK

Dont beat yourself up over mental ray, Im still coming to grips with it, shame theres not really a great deal of documentation with Maya on it. Im gonna get the MR dvd at some point.

Scale issues piss me off too with it. Bigger models, more photons etc!! More time rendering!!

A small thought for you: Good rendering was still achieved with a good 3 light setup way before MR, just render it in different passes and comp in AfterEffects if you have it or something similar.
