lighting

hey
rendering with gi is a time consuming. so better look for creating artificial illumination using area lights where u think light can bounce. do not cast shadows for that . . ray tracing also increases the time of render. Try to create a sky light with 3 filter size and 250 as depth map shadow. . try covering the sky with many spot lights with the color blue. and the shadow a little darker with blue tint. u can achieve as good as mental ray render. This is what i do. because in production time is always a issue. Rendering it cheaper is the only way and the best way

all the best

Perhaps this (http://www.andrew-whitehurst.net/fx_light.html) might be of a little use? I wrote it quite a while ago but it's mostly still valid.

Good luck.
