yer what mat said,

a question mat from me since your familiar with lighting etc. just say you have a scene/project which the render you are using is mental ray and you have tweeked all your settings and options up, what happends if you have something which needs to be rendered in hardware like a lighting bolt etc,

would you have to render out in hardware but then all your MR options go to no use and your render becomes ugly? how would you do both of them?
