thnx guys for your comments, really makes me feel better about my renderings.

Two thoughts.
The lighting looks too flat. I think two things contribute to the problem. One the white background seems to overwhelm the product. This effect is strongest in the wood dinosaur. I would put a spot light above and behind the dino so that it strongly highlights the top edge of each rib/spine element.
I would also layer the image in photoshop. Make two copies. Label one product and the other background. Then use levels to optimize the background tone in the "background layer" and to optimize the product in the "product layer". Put the product layer on top and erase the areas around the product with a soft brush to let the optimized background to show through.
I think you will be amazed by the difference.
I will try that out when i get home......

What I don't understand is why there is color fringing around the dinos head (most noticeable at the enlarged size). It is as if this were a photo taken through a cheap plastic lens. How does a rendering engine do chromatic aberration unless there is a cheap lens filter in the software. Very odd.
Thes are good renders but might be able to show more life if the lighting issue are addressed.
Like cadmunkey said, it was done in post-pro, the dinosaur was my first attempt at the studio rendering and the effect in photoshop...
I then went on for the phones...wich to be honest came out better than the dino because i changed some settings for the phones.

Anyhow, excellent renders you have there - looks like you have Vray mastered!
not exactly mastered but thanx for the comment, i do have a lot of the setting/parameters of v-ray down...still learning though ![:smile: π](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=ortm2mm07uk)
One problem i still have with this setup is the lighting as mentiond above by Roger....
i have little to no understanding of studio setups ![:flushed: π³](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f633.png?v=ortm2mm07uk)
i made this one based on a concept I saw on a tv ad ![:smile: π](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f604.png?v=ortm2mm07uk)
but as far as lighting go, i do not know where to place these, because i tried to make a nice silver effect today, but because of my poor setup of lighting it came out really flat, you can barrely see that it is actually silver.
if anyone can help me out with this, i would really be greatful....
thnx again to everyone for your wonderful comments...it gives me the confidence to continue with my work.
