3DS max mental ray settings

So I'm struggling a bit with some render settings, perhaps anyone here knows something x]

This render is with the default settings, and with barely no lightning (I need to render 600 frames of this scene in 1920x1080).
I'm fine with the sky map and the lightning but I would like to increase the quality.

I put the samplequality up to 4-64 and it takes 20 minutes to render LOL.
You can see a nice difference with this but alright, 20 minutes x 600 is an awful lot of render time :S.

So I was hoping anyone would know a way around to increase quality and decrease the render time under 20 minutes.

Tips on the scene are welcome as well ^_^.

Just some scene tips:
I have never seen a wooden floor in an office like that. also the walls could have a better texture then just plain white.

Hardly see any difference between the first and the second image.
But perhaps you should ask on your college if someone knows a good solution :).

Yeah thats true, it needs to be a little more polished. Though I wanted to get rid off the grey sucky mood.
Plain white indeed x[ but I'm upgrading it a bit thanks ^_^.

My college is filled with low braindeads, they just do what they need to do and nothing else.
Let me give you an example, that snowman I made was for a friend, he had 9 weeks for it and he didn't do it, now I did it for him, in like 20 minutes and that was enough, for 9 ****ing weeks x 4 hours a week of lessons. Lmao.

Anyways thanks.

The white closet thing needs more detail.
You need to add shadows under the desks and chairs for more realism.
Add more details to the walls.
Make the windows more transparent and look like there's an actual sky behind it.
Frame the pictures on the walls.
Make the screen of the monitors darker than the frame of the monitor.
Add bases to the bottom of the walls to give a realistic look.
Frame the windows.

Keep working on it :)
