Ivy

I'm making this scene at work for testing purpose. I'm learning to work with mia material, displacement mapping and mental ray.
Does anybody have an idea on how to sharpen up a mental ray render (Maya)? It always seems kind of fuzzy to me even at high res and settings.
Any comments so far?

Gr,

did you up your mental ray sample settings? std is 1/4 min and 1 max. You could try bumping that up to 1 and 4, respectively. Bumping up your contrast settings incrimentally is a nice trick that can help as well, without sacrificing render time.
