Cheers Guys,

At work at the mo but almost finished and should have some final renders of the modeling side this evening. The setup simply involves using maya's physical sun on this Paldav. As long as you are rendering with mental rray you should find an option for creating this in the render settings. I am using Maya 2011 so all of the conections are automatically set up but not sure if this is the case on pre 8.5 maya. Let me know how you go and will do my best to explain further if you need it.
