Problem: Black spots appear in Mental Ray renderings.

Reason: Final Gather does not work with Multi/sub materials with Raytrace reflections that are "FACETED".

Solution: Turn "FACETED" OFF.

See 3DS MAX files attached.

If you read the manual you'll see that multi/sub materials are not supported with the MR renderer in 3ds R8.
