Getting to know how to fog works. Used the Daylight System for this. PT at 8000 samples. Rendered in 13.48 minutes with a Gtx 780 and 780ti. Pretty happy with the result.

Also, I did not model anything shown. It comes from a contest on 3dRender.com http://www.3drender.com/challenges/

I have tried a few shaders from the live DB but not having much luck.

This is one of the test animations I completed for 343 Industries, and is not production work. Rendered in Octane Render for Maya. Direct light set to Diffuse. Rendered in about 40 seconds per frame on average with a single gtx780 and an i7-920. Really happy with the results/speed of Octane.

That fixed it! I didn't notice that in the geometries attributes. Thanks for the quick reply!

I am having some trouble getting the internal motion blur to work. When I export the animation to the standalone using alembic export, the motion blur works fine, but in the Maya plugin it is not showing up. I have the same setting in both and Ive tried batch rendering , but that didn't help either ...
