@JamesSimsFX it's always better to fuss over s small detail which will go unnoticed, rather than not do it and have someone notice it not being there. i find it easier to notice where small details should be but aren't, rather than small details that are correctly implemented

@JamesSimsFX Wow, nice, and thanks! Btw was the render time long? in general of the whole sequence?

[JamesSimsFX]

@mbediting Well that was nothing special, I created a shadow/matte material which outlined the hole of the building which is why on the building pass you can only see the inside of the building where the hole is.

But for the actual interior all I did was create a few rectangles and placed them to look like different floors, with some walls and support gurders :)

Well AO is very simple, I used V-Ray so its different from mental ray but I make a tut on it now you mention it :)
