The post on DA where you can read more about it.

Aldo they look good,i somehow feel that they could look more realistic.I need critiques on how i can make them look more realistic to make people believe like they actually exist.

All my materials are on point and as i wish them to be but it all just doesnā€™t look as real as these.
I dont know how or why but these ones look all so much more realistic.

mine give more of a toy feel which i was going for,which im guessing is why they dont look that much realistic as mine are moreā€¦artistic? :stuck_out_tongue:

Also the problem im having now is that is not getting a lot of exposure.My art isnt going to a lot of people to see so im getting really low page views and all,which is why im trying now to post the DA page from it to as many places as possible so i can get attention as i cant think of anything else that is left for me to do.

I hope that this is theā€¦ummmmā€¦best way to do it? im not really sure if i should advertise my DA page or my artStation or some kind of a different page or way.
Im trying to get as many people to see my art so they know i can actually do stuff worth looking at,so i can start to get requests and start doing submissions for starters and start earning for what im doing.
As i appreciate the work and time needed for doing modeling in general and things related to 3D art but unfortunately not a lot of people do :disappointed:

I hate this way of self advertising but im left with no other option.

The only thing i can think of as of now is that the plastic material on yours is very reflective, while the ā€œrealā€ ones have a rather blurred reflections.

As far as realism goes hereā€™s a few points i think you could try:

-lay them down having them standing straight up is a dead give away that its a render.
-make the screws more reflective but dull the reflection. if that makes sense. what renderer are you using? (for example if youre using mental ray bump the reflection and lower the glossiness)
-add a low value bump to the soft parts.

i have rendered them in cycles.And yeah i guess ill have to lay them on something and turn the reflections a little bit down.
What do you think of the colors and the glowing pipe in the back?

maybe you could use that tool for finding Color Harmoney.
