I need to make a 3D render for a amator movie we made. We will put some bluescreen actor in it. So i need a near photo realistic look...  I don't expect it to be perfect but right now it look like more like a cartoon cavern. I used vue vue for the test but i have acces to max7, carrara 5, vue infinite 5 and poser 6.

Here are some still render.

In the third picture i know the scale of the right wall is not right... i am fixing it. As you can see the setting is medieval fantastic...  

It is probably the light but don't know for sure... Still trying to find what. It is my first real 3D interior scene... By the way i don't have any formation in 3D.

Any advice? Tutorial or trck? I am ready to start it over from scratch...
