Lighting and Rendering Tests

As I know next to nothing about lighting, and slightly further from nothing about rendering, I can only determine what will work best for my animation by simple trial and error. For starts, I've set up a weak ambient light complimented by a stronger spot light to create a few shadows around William and I'm deciding which software I will choose to render with.

Maya Hardware

Maya Software

Maya Vector

Mental Ray
Personally I am very tempted to make the whole thing in Maya Vector, what a brilliant little setting :D

It's between Mental Ray and Maya Software, then. A test of render timing for each will make the decision for me.
