Perhaps post some results before we comment?
Would help in letting us know your skill level.

You might be a master of light but major-huge bevels and poor displacement or bump maps make your render look like a toy. I wish I had some zinger links to give you.

Check this one out:

Not sure if I agree with all of it but really has some good info.
