/3/ - 3DCG

Ok, on the left are examples from the videos I were following, on the right are my renders.

I circled in red renders where I did exactly the same thing, while other images are showing slightly different setups with different HDRI maps and light positions.

I am especially confused with the second render on the left. The guy used just a Vray sun and it already looks amazing. Also, I have a problem with some Vray lighting where it is always too bright, unless I put the multiplier down to a minimum.

Any thanks would be appreciated, I'm trying to figure this out for a couple of days now. Not sure if I should just practice more or if there is some problem with my lights, but something doesn't seem right. Especially in the circled examples, because I don't get shadows where I should have them.
