[Bf-cycles] B.M.P.S Cycles Material test file

[Paulius Mscichauskas]

That would surely look great for material preview.
However, the scene is way to complex to render fast enough for material
preview.
Before this can be the material preview, the scene should be drastically
simplified.
That is, a drastic reduction of polygons. Most of these details do not make
any difference in such small scales as 64x64 - 128x128 material previews.
