Hi!

I needed an object to test/learn mental ray, so I created this goblin bust a few weeks ago.
The tests concerned image based lighting with my own HDR-environment/background photos, sss-materials with displacement maps and ambient occlusion, blending of different materials and final gathering.
Well, I learned painful lessons about mental ray and I wish no more (bad) surprises.
I hope, you like the results. Enjoy!
