Hello, I am looking for any feedback on my scene Here, I just started working in maya at the beginning of the year and I am eager to learn as much as possible. CCM261

Well one thing that pops out immediately is that the grass texture needs to be tiled more. The blades of grass are huge.

Well it's a good start. My crits are that the lighting is very flat and uninteresting, and your materials could use a bit of work. But overall, as it looks like it was rendered straight from Maya, I'd recomend you download the UDK for free here:

http://www.udk.com/

Learn the basics of UDK, and try to put your scene together in in the UDK. If you want to become a game artist, it looks much better on your portfolio for your scenes to be done in a game engine, rather than rendered from the modeling package. Also, UDK will give you access to some awesome lighting and post processing effects to really make your scene go somewhere.

Otherwise, good start. Keep us updated!
