Clay wireframe renders with Mental Ray & 3ds Max

Clays are used because they show the model in a basic form which tends to show lumps and bumps which could otherwise be covered up by texturing or shaders. It also allows your peers to criticise your work easily which will help you develop your models faster and to a better standard. Its really useful to post wire frames too but this is often where people become unstuck.
