Heya,

I usually use Mental Ray and play around with my textures and lighting to get a clay look.

well if u mean to say that u want a simple render without any textures but feels like its a white sort of clay after beinmg rendered, then its bvery simple.. you just have to make polygon sphere and strectch this much that you model comes inside it and then make a plane as well of polygon, then apply a lambert shader to both of them and make their colr and incandescense value to full or per your requirements and then render it in mental ray's final gather.. and then you can have thje same effect of clay type render..
hope so that this will help you out ..
cyaa then byee n tc
