    It looks to me like a bloom/glare effect was applied in post (or maybe the 3D app had a post effect for it). The material itself is nothing more than a basic shader with no specular or a very slight, wide specular. It looks like global illumination or radiosity was used for lighting, with a sky dome and GI lights behind and to each side of the text.

    Here’s a tutorial on doing the glare effect in PS:

    I used very low specular and several lights, and touched it off with some glow.
