Came across these articles on using mental ray in 3dmax, which are well worth a look at

mental ray 101: the Essentials
mental ray 102: Lighting

Welcome to mental ray for Design Visualization

Download the pdfs rather than trying to read them via the web as the layout is small.

They are actualy part of a book mastering mental ray by Jennifer O'conner due to be published in April this year but are still well worth a read.

Thanks I will have to check them out I just finished one book on rendering with mental ray, it was ok but I found it was lacking, it gave good explantions i'm just not sure how much I took away from it.

Over all it was worth the money I think. (its a bit older, max 9 I think, when they came out with Arch & design mats)

Thanks for the links, I am going to check them out. Kind of looking for some more books I can learn more from, (educate myself on the street cars/subway)
