Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

last i might change the color on the car - at the moment it looks a little too similar to the bike - and maybe adjust the camera angle a little - i just feel like the way the curb is interacting with the contour of the bike and the bike with the car, isn't doing much for your compostition.
keep up the good work.

i don't think a bike would sit so upright and straight though. i would probably turn the handlebars and give the bike a bit of a lean - that would also turn the front wheel and maybe give a bit of contrast to the rest of the image. i still think the bike is looking a bit too clean.
sorry to go on. i like this a lot - i think the light is really good.

So try to lean it so that the steering wheel is making a circle with it.
I think the render could use some more realistic lights, at the moment it`s not convincing, try to start off with a physic light, and then add rims etc...
See what effect you can get out of it.
Cool work so far.

You know that little metal bar that you push down so that the bike will stand, without having somebody stand next to it to hold it up
Cool update, keep it going.

after watching the scene for a while I noticed the scaling of your environment texture. the human brain reads pictures in a weird way sometimes. I am talking about the ground to be more precise. you maybe want to play a little with the scaling of the ground maps. if they´re too big everything else looks too small. also to get some contrast in the scenes scale, maybe add just a few things in the right size.
but if the items are truly toys - congrats to this fine rendering!
edit_________
what else is the cleaniness of all textures. realistic stuff is never clean. I´d add some irregularities and dirt to the maps.
everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

I am curious how you have this set up and the settings.. because I want to make a project involving toy like objects.. is it the depth of field that gives that effect here?
