A PDF document by Pierre-Felix Breton from Autodesk, covering many topics on using Mental Ray for architectural rendering: lighting, materials, linear workflow, tips, avoiding common pitfalls, non-photorealistic rendering (NPR), MR Proxies, exposure control, etc. Also of note, here’s another PDF document from Autodesk on the same subject that has some overlapping info with the one mentioned above.

What I got from your PDF is that you have very good approach and view to architectural rendering. Anyway it helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a pleasure. Glad to hear you found them useful. Just in case it needs clarifying, these come from Autodesk (they’re not ours). It’s their hard work and all credit belongs to them. 🙂 I’m sure they will be happy to know they were that much help to you, though.
