It's kinda tough to say what caused it since you forgot to include the image but a wild guess is probably your dof and scene scale is off..

I rendered this scene in maxwell using maya , it looks good took me 2 hours but it's so frickin blurry.
How do i fix that i mean , what do i increase , or wich settings are related to the blur.

try to fix the DOF settings, maybe?

Does Maya have a Depth of Field setting?

FIrst off if it does try to set it exactly on your area of focus.

The if you can, set the fstop to like something ridiculous like 23.0

This won't let much light in but will make the image focus in case you don't have DoF settings right.

Then, when you are rendering, if the image is too dark just adjust the f-stop and shutter speed in the maxwell render window for now until you figure out how to set them in maya.

Try at least 640x480 or 800x600.

I haven't used Maya beyond some very basic tests so I'm not as familiar with the camera settings.

In Lightwave we can go to a side view of the scene (or top view) and measure the distance from the camera lens to the object we are focusing on.

We can then set the DoF distance to match this. Without using the D.epth o.f F.ield (DoF) in lightwave I often got very blurry images.

Can you post what you have made? Host your image using image shack.

Then link it here so we can help you. Maybe you can post a screen shot of your camera or scene settings. Try the Maya forum here as well for further help.

Set your Maya scene units to centimeter in the Preferences.

Scale your object so it's the real-world size, as measured in centimeters. You can check the scale by using the Distance measure tool in the Create menu. (You just click a start point and and end point and it'll tell you the distance.)

Then select the object that you want at the center of your scene and press 'f' to focus on it. Then you can move your camera back. Probably, you will have to go into Camera Attributes and increase the Far Clip plane from the default 1000 to something higher. I just set mine to 100000 and forget about it.

Learn about cameras, typical film ASA, typical f-stops, and shutter speeds, don't just randomly guess. As a very, very general rule, you should begin to shoot your indoor stuff with a film ISO of 400, and start with shutter speeds around 1/60. An f-stop of about 4.8-8 is a good starting point. Your outdoor sun+physical sky stuff you should start with an ISO of 100 and shutter speed of 1/125.
