The blur is hiding some identifying markings, of course - you're not supposed to know exactly what it is.

The lighting setup was... hang on, maybe I still have this in a file I can find... damn, this is so crude it's actually embarrassing...

The sun has a multiplier of 0.03, sky is 0.05, camera is target with clipping and there's exposure control with EV=9. The track lights are from the internet, ERCO.73200.023.142 with the corresponding IES file and in Light Lister their dimmer is at 1200.

The sun has photon targeting turned on and its GI Photons are set to 100 under the mental ray Indirect Illumination tab. GI is turned on and the average photons per light is 1500. FG is set to draft with multiplier at 1.5 and there are sky portals with default settings.

All the materials are A&D and most have some kind of glossy reflection.

Basically I'm throwing more of my computer's time at the problem than my own - I figure I could have optimized it more but I didn't feel like it.
