My First Mentalray Project

Hi everyone,
I’ve just began to learn Maya for a few months and I need some advices how to make these images look better. This images were rendered using maya2008 + mentalray. It took almost 6 hours to render the hotel scene (each) and a little over 2 hours for the interior scene. I’m currently using Hacintosh/MacOSx 10.5.2 on my pc (Intel Q9450 @2.66Ghz - 4Gb - 8800GT 512mb) which surprisingly runs very stable and doesn’t crash as much as xp64.
