Hi guys,
I am a self-tought newbie in 3D field. As for now I am trying to learn as much as I can because I really would like to work doing 3D some day.
I recently made this render in 3DsMax and I would be glad to get some feedback.
Please, tell me what you think, what I did wrong, what I could have done better. Any help.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Apologies if I posted it in wrong place.

I also had a strage issue, let me explain.
I wanted to add some adhesive tape effect to make things more interested.
I made a simple plane matching the surfuce of a carboard with a little bit offset + some opacity and refraction.
I was pretty happy with the effect as shown below.
BUT no matter what I did my plane kept casting shadows. I was trying to play with object, vray and material properties but no luck.
In this case you cannot see it because I used only sun light located far away.
However whenever I located a light source nearby, it casted shadow.
Any foughts?
P.S. In the end, I ditched the idea as it would not be visible in my scene anyway.
Probably it is because I played a lot with cutout / opacity / refraction to get this 'shaded tape' effect but still I think it should just work.
I have used two different objects, though. If I have some time I will try doing this as one object with multiple material IDs,
however this is just an idea I haven't tried, but I doubt it will make a difference.
