Maya 6.5 has a scanline in mental ray which takes care of the second issue I mentioned above.

scanline works great on fur with ray tracing off. very realistic results.
messing around with attributes for the fur will get good results with ray tracing

I did not use Image based lighting node. I created a shere and applied a surface shader to it and than the HDR image to that. I got more desirable results. Also in the fur attributes I adjusted the tip and base opacity and cranked them up a bit.

Why not take a couple of minutes and polish-up that reply - then add it to the "Tips and Tricks" thread:

(It's similar to the thread you joined, regarding the chrome shader, some months ago)....

PS What is the HDR image you used?

The HDR is the generic ones from debevec website
I hope his name is spelled correctly.
just do a google search on HDR and it should be one of the first hits
