Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Now on to a few technical details! Some of the textures are not high enough resolution for the shots so they're blurring and there is a bit of texture stretching on the landscape so you may need to check the proportions on your UVs. As for the surface shading, all the surfaces are very matte, experiment with a specular shader like Blinn, try mapping textures to the bump and specular channels, with some subtlety, it can make the models more believable. Also something you have to watch out for is having obvious duplicates, like the structures in image 3. You can try using a triple switch node to make any given shader use a different color map for each object.
On the lighting front, I'd say some indirect illumination is needed but honestly, lighting in Maya can be a heavy load and I'd rather not get into all that as it's not my intent to overwhelm you(which can be difficult when giving detailed critique).
Anyway, you're off to a good start, keep at it!
