I was trying to light a scene with a building on a groundplane using sky light and one directional light to simulate the sun. Can someone outline the general settings for such a scene in MR. I have been using Brazil and now I'm having hard time figuring out what would be the same setting for Brazil's 'GI bounces' in MR? If I just turn on the final gathering and leave all the settings as they are the secondary illumination is very weak (or maybe there isn't any, hard to tell)...how can i turn that up? Bumping up the Energy in the global light properties didn't seem to do anything...What am I missing? The help file was a bit confusing...btw, I made sure that all the objects had GI enabled in the properties.

one more Q: Does the render elements work with mental ray?

cheers!
