Real space scenes do look odd, due ot the peculiar nature of space (very little ambient light), and the artistic license sci-fi brings.

 Chriss Foss is my fave spaceship artists, he's awesome :)

often, form what I've scene, sci-fi spaceships are given a glossy surface, so they highlight nicely, lacking ambient/reflections etc, as a normal scene would have.

www.scifi-meshes.com is awesome site, fyi :)

Ok then here this is the picture from the link. It's not about Scifi objects but scifi lighting, the hull bumps just look so incredibly realistic in the sunlight.
