Daniel, please reefer to the help of 3D Max, there you can find explanation of how Mental Ray works and some tutorials to get you started.

When you mentioned that ' you can't find answers' for this mere problem, if you do a search on this forum you'll find several.

Your samples settings are low, your FG settings are low too, what you see is a good preview image to work materials but for final rendering you need to increase antialising and adjust your FG as need it.

thank you for replying, i did several test using different values in FG but nothing changed! now i tried with the sampling and i got it working... thanks for your guidance..

ps:as you recommended, i also read the 3dsmax help and found it very helpful!
