Hello!

I have been successful in basic lighting in mr. The lighting is far from perfect, and needs a lot of tweaking. I used the final gather option in Mental Ray at about 1000 rays. And came up with this effect. I think the car could do with less shine and maybe a dirt mask, ect.

THe REAL problem I am running into is when I use a spherical globe and base-plane that my model is sitting on. All I have done is attached a light probe .hdr file to the color and ambient color of the dome. Is this wrong? As you can see it comes out with some freaky looking lighting only acceptable in a DISCO. What am I doing wrong?

Some serious help needed here!

Thanks,
