MENTAL RAY

Is this a picture or CGI?
How about some mental ray action in 3ds max? I am thinking about doing a brief tutorial on it!

You can tell that pic is CGI from miles off, the lighting is poor and the color and textures have no depth and the reflections on the table dont look right.

Answers to previous comments:

the chrome ball is used for high dynamic range imaging or HDRI for short is extremely important in a production environment, it adds in real world lighting to your scene but can be very render intensitive, I tend to fake my Global Illumination (GI)with techniques I've learned over the years. Do a search for HDR max tutorial I'm sure you will find some.

MentalRay is built into 3ds max, have a look through the max help files about rendering with mental ray and it will show you everything you need to get started.
