Looks good. If those trees & buildings are from external sources, you should add them, if not, how did you do the palm trees, is there a puggin or smth?

Wonderful !
Have you tried to apply a Noise modifier to slum houses ? Look too perfect geometric for a slum. Noise modifier (not abusive) add realism to a wall or ceiling .

Nice work and details, love the background, the band around the tree to hold the roof and especially the flag! The rough construction of the boards is also cool.

Grass is made with VRay hair suppose. Try to assign an original grass picture as bitmap color. This add more color variation and make it more natural.
Very nice and clean modelling, good luck.

I love the way the canon looks in step 9, a shame that some of the effect is lost in the bright daylight. Extra points for humor!

Alternatively, if 3ds does not have such settings, you may render the background, blur it in photoshop, then render the foreground with a transparent background and overlay it on top of the image you just blurred.

The aperture on a camera is what determines the amount of blur and depth of field (the area in which an object is in focus) and is measured in f-stops. A good understanding of depth of field (Google it) will allow you to better understand what should be blurred, how much blur, and when to blur. I don't know anything about 3ds, so someone else would have to confirm, but you should have a setting on the camera that allows you to adjust the f-stop; a close up model with an f-stop of 2.8 would produce the effect that looks ultra real, and may even reduce your rendering times as well.

Fantastic! Overall looks great, but the simulation of a large f-stop is throwing everything off. The blur almost looks like it was added in after the render, rather than being part of it. I only say this because the face of the chair is sharp, while the edge is blurry. Also the edge of the box seems to blend into the background, as if it were masked then blurred. Oh, and you forgot to blur the cabinets behind the chair

The light delineation on the table and the helicopter aren't quite right. If the light is that strong coming through the window, the shadows need to be deeper. Mainly it's the front edge of the table that visually bothers me the most, it looks brown rather than shadow gray...Being white, it shouldn't have any tint in shadow.
