In this lesson we will start render hookah in MentalRay.
Open render setting windows and choose Mental Ray from renders list

Create Image based light:

Load HDRI image (in this example I used free HDRI Dock-Sphere-FREE.hdr )
you can download free hdri images also from http://www.debevec.org/Probes/
In Render Stats turn off Primary Visibility
Select mentalraylbl1 (light sphere) and scale down it to 100.

Now begin to make a base material, start with blinn:

Tweak this blinn as on picture
Eccentricity 0.2, Specular Roll Off 0.7, Reflectivity 0.95
At MentalRay field, Reflection Blur and Rays 60:
![Tutorial Texture and render hookah 5](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/30.jpg&w=450)

Create three spot light
Left intensity 0.6, right 0.4, behind hookah 1:
![Tutorial Texture and render hookah 13](/img/phpThumb.php?src=20/38.jpg&w=450)
Look throw each spot light it's must cover hookah:
