Hi,

iam new to MentalRay. I was using before V-Ray but dont have anymore V-Ray availible and with MR iam a little bit lost.

I want to render a simple scene where is one object and for bottom is used just a plane with a standard white material. The object is did from reflective material (metal) and for reflection is used a HDR map.

My question is what light i should use for the render MR light, Standard light, MR sun,...? I have no idea. Any suggestion which would push me forward would be great.

thx, T

For single object you may try with simple mrOmni, mrSpot lights or with portals. Test them and use the one that works best for your work.

Hi,

thank you for the reply, i will try and will let know, thx

Hi again,

i used MR SkyPortals for the render and it was wayyy better than before, also i used some postprodcution in Photoshop using Ambient map and now so far iam satisfied with my render. Thank you alot for pushing me in the right way.
