    Hi!

    I’m fairly good with C4D, but I must admit that I’ve always had a tough time with complex texturing and scene lighting. Does anyone know how to light (and texture) a figure like the one in this image:

    I’ve tried some simple glass and water textures, but I think it’s more about radiosity and lighting. It’s such a beautiful scene; I would love to try and replicate it.

    Thanks!

    looks like a semi standard glass/water texture on the figure with a luminescent rectangle (probably) above and below. All contained in a sphere or sky object with a fresnel gradient on it.
    Lighting might have GI but might be a dome of lights with specular turned off as well
