How to Make 3D Text Like This?!?
I haven’t been able to find this basic effect covered anywhere – how do you make realistic looking 3d text like the stuff in this reel and everywhere else in the video world with Cinema 4d? Is it lighting, material, or both? Please help, I just can’t find a tutorial or anything, but I see it everywhere!!!

I should mention that I already know how to do a text + extrude nurbs, etc. I just need a pointer on how people go about setting it up from there to look a little more realistic (and less grey!).

What sort of modules do you have? It looks like this is has several Advanced Render effects on it. Ambient Occlusion, Global Illumination, Subsurface Scattering, etc. Other than that, It just looks like a really well lit, well designed extrude NURBS, like you said.
Backlit, some kind of soft fill lighting, and then all the bells and whistles of Advanced Render added in. The texture is probably fairly straightfoward, white in the color channel with a minimal amount of reflectivity, maybe SSS in the texture on that. Very low, flat plastic specular. Just my guess.

It doesn’t look like anything fancy to me — just plain extruded text with shadow casting, colored lights.
