This is a tutorial how to make a exterior lightning and render with mental ray . This scene was modeled in 3D max 7 and rendered with mental ray 3.4, the unit is in meter.
For this tutorial's purpose, I modeled a simple scene with some boxes (simulating the buildings...).
（考虑到教程的目的，我仅仅用一些简单的ｂｏｘ搭建了场景，模拟建筑。）

Sunlight : I used a Mr Spot Light, placed it far away from the building, then adjusted the Hotspot/Falloff, as you can see below.
（太阳光：我使用一盏Mr聚光灯，将其放置到离建筑很远的地方，然后调整聚光/衰减值，如下图所示。）
Skylight : place a Skylight above 'the building' . Here is the setting for skylight and Mr spot light.
（天光：放置一盏天光灯到建筑的上方。下面是天光和Mr聚光灯的设置参数。） 作者: 火柴盒 时间: 2008-10-28 10:39
Render : now, we are ready to render. Here's setting for render : (you can increase the FG value to get higher quality).
（渲染：现在我们准备渲染了。下图是渲染设置，你可以提高ＦＧ的值来获取更高质量。）
Result : (render size 600 x 450).
Post-work : I used photoshop to add the background , color balance, depth of field,etc....
（后期处理：我在ＰＳ中添加了背景，色彩平衡和景深等。）
