Dynamics, Lighting and Rendering

I found a couple of really great websites that have a lot of information regarding mental ray, I am still pretty shaky with mental ray and need to really develop my skills in it.
Spoke to Adam Burr the dynamics prof, and he too was in agreement with the fact that I should just create my fog effect with a z-depth pass and mainly create it through compositing. For the effect of mist around the trees and hugging the ground. though I might still need to do a fluids pass to create some interaction when William, the boy runs through the forest. We would also like to re-create a similar effect to that of the night crawler in X-Men 2. The wispy smoky effect which will be around the Jabberwocky at all times.
