Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Rules of thumb for FG:
Set the max radius to be 10% of the scene size (use the measure tool to find out)
Set min radius to be 10% of the max radius.
As for BSP:
For size use 4,5 or 6
For depth use 25 (for light geometry scene), 40 for medium and 55 for scenes with tonnes of stuff.

used together with GI you can get quick results too.
Set the GI up to have tiny little photons and lots as well (1-200000). GI calculates much quicker than FG.
This (GI only) rendered should look like tiny dots (snow like).
Add FG with settings around 100 with min and max really large around 400 and 1600.
this will smooth the Rough but accurate GI out creating a smooth effect that utilizes the multiple bouced light of GI.

photons 200,000
GI settings> Accuracy 128
Radius .150

In regards to using 'huge' radius settings for FG...........
(they are using Mental Ray in XSI but translates to Maya for MR just fine)
Se pics in post below

here are some pics using large FG radius and low accuracy settings together with GI created by Wurp at XSI base using Mental Ray in XSI.

Understand I am using Fg for and outdoor building, when u say accuracy 30 in FG what are u reffering to, the number of rays? 30 seems to be a little small.
Anyway great help, all I need to do is post an image. Now that this will be solved the issue is how to set up maya with mental ray for an animation.
It seems to be exporting everysingle frame each time from Maya to MR, not a good thing.... 3800 frames would take 3 weeks for a HDTV 720 format with FG GI and Ray trace, /./.... there really is no other way, DMAP is fast but the results... poor.
So i found some server software like iRush and Vertex.
Was not able to test them yet but will today or tomorrow.
Aderium.
