This model comes from a thread at Vizdepot.com. The goal of the thread & providing the model is/was to display different lighting configurations in Mental Ray (3dsmax), and then discuss the settings.
The untextured & unlit model was provided in the thread and of course it's design was based on Jonatan's (aka Sytron) wonderful Maxwell render here:

I know it's a bit dark near the camera, mainly due to my editing in photoshop. The original render was a bit brighter. However, I liked the contrast, so I left the dark areas in (even though it's unatural looking).
Comments and critiques are certainly welcomed.
