Hi i was wondering if anyone could help me with a quick question. Am i right in thinking that if you want to light a scene using an HDR map in max 2009, you must use the standard skylight? Rather than the newer mr lights?

Yes, you do use the skylight, it's totally cool with mr.

Ty very much. Trying to get to grips with the new stuff in max, ive been working in a much older version. Can you suggest any 2008-2009 mr rendering/lighting tutorials?

The tutorial that comes with max is very good (interior daylight). Also, you might read up on http://mentalraytips.blogspot.com/ and http://mymentalray.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10 . There is also the http://mentalboutmax.com/ - commercial indepth training.
