That's my second work I've ever done in 3d (still in progress).
I'm studding 3d, and I needed to make some environment and shoot 3 images, I decided to make a bakery and I want to make it better.
All suggestions are welcome!

Very nice for such early works!

I'd suggest adding another layer of texturing first and foremost. Corners in these kinds of places seem to attract more dirt than in the middle of areas. Basically dirty it up.
Also, try to use small area lights instead of point lights, or in 9.5 use small spherical lights instead of point lights... it will rid you of some of those harsh CG-looking shadows.
Rendertime will go up though.

Cheers

Pretty awesome. I agree with what Exception said about the lights. It doesn't really look like those candles are actually lighting the room--in a lot of cases, they're not even casting shadows at all. In this case, it looks a bit odd. I'd definitely have the candle lights cast some shadows--even though, as Exception alluded, doing so will raise all sorts of subsequent issues.

Thanks!! I'll work on the corners.
I didn't thought about the shadows that way; actually I did them intentionally, so I'll simply remove those "shadow lights":thumbsup:
Thanks a lot :)
