Next Level in quality renderings

[ostrak]

I am using Accurender and autocad to create my 3d models. My problem is this: I have been able to create somewhat OK looking renderings, however I have never been able to achieve that "next" level of quality. I have tried different lighting and using quality materials, but I never seem to be able to reach that Photo real look that i always see on the Gallery pages.

Can you folks please give me and tips or methods of moving to this next level? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
