Improving render

Daz world, Can anyone kinda list few top things to look for when doing a render setup. My render is good but I feel like there is always room for improvement. I know that light is pretty important and am pretty good at that. Or is it sort of every scene is case for itself and need to play with it ? If it is, then what do I play with ? Thanks

    Why don't you post the render you're referring to?

    Go to render settings and try Changing ISO and Shutter speed also in envrorment tab play with Sun and sky only vs Dome and Scene.

    Also if you rotate your main object in the viewport you will see the light affecting it in different ways.

    If you're asking from an artistic point of view, you could ask in the arts forums section:)

    You can't critique by words, so post an example in the art forum and ask for feedback :)

    Other than that, I would recommend doing a photography workshop near you. You learn about light, composition, get feedback from your peers, and all what you learn can be brought back to your renders!

    Not an expert, but for IRay might try the following.  (Depends on your machine, camera & lights of course)

    Max Samples: 15000
    Max Time (secs): 21600
    Rendering Quality: 3 or 4 (if it doesn’t finish in time will look grainy.  Can always cancel when it looks finished.)
    Rendering Converged Ratio: 98% (It will stop at this % regardless of time I think)
    Max Path Length: 10 (speed things up?  Or just leave at -1)
    Pixel Filter Radius: 0.50 (the lower the # the more ‘crisp’ or sharp)
    Pixel Filter: Mitchell (also helps  increase sharpness.)

    Exposure will vary with light of course.  The following is for day, or well light interiors)

    14.21 =

    Shutter Speed: 125
    F/Stop: 11
    Film ISO: 125

    Adjust length of shadows outdoors by removing HDRI image and setting time of day.  11AM is nice.  laugh

    Hope that helps!
