a super quick/simple setup using Indigo Renderer.. the material preset 'shiny plastic' was assigned to the green then a studio .exr was used for the lighting/environment.. i could probably come up with something more dramatic (or whatever) but just showing an example of a 30second studio setup
(~32 minute render time)
the .exr i used looks like this:

Jeff and micione,
Thanks,
Both of these show how easy it is to create a Studio Rendering.
I have posted these two to the SketchUp Rendering site.
Hopefully we will get some more samples as well.

I rendered this one with IRender nXt. I made the Dragon translucent, and used a studio background geometry from the 3D Warehouse provided by Solo a few years ago, and the Studio rendering lighting default setting in IRender nXt. I let this rendering "cook" for about 2 hours.

3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

Never can get SSS correct -

Never can get SSS correctAs I said, default Realistic glass(diamond) and easy preset medium.
Perhaps the trick I used was scaling a copy of the dragon to fit inside and give that a lampshade material. That adds some density to the whole thing.
You can see the difference in this one, it is the same settings without the inner lampshade. and a different colour.

Another one with Indigo...

Wow I really 1ike the last two. When I get home I may join in.

As a side note. If jumping into "dragon" studio, one might be interested to look on Henrik Wann Jensen's iconic A dragon made of frosted glass. That inspired some years ago a Frosted Glass Challenge (Any Render Engine) (http://www.atillaakin.com/maxwell/dragonmatrix.png).

hi, im not very good at rendering, mainly because its not my primary focus, but i had to do this one
VRay 2.0, rendered at 1600x1200, high exterior preset with ambient occlusion
Dragon material is a glass bottle vismat, changed the RGB to 33,160,8
Dragon Balls downloaded from wharehouse and just added reflection

Studio and product rendering is a very simple task but can be a pain in the ass if you do not have the right tools.
In the past as illustrated above I used a studio setup model on which I could pose my model and that worked fine at the time however the problem with such a setup is there is no balanced lighting from behind so one could only light from sides and front or use an HDR image which again would not project from behind as there is a model of a studio blocking it.
The whole point of Prodviz is to show the item in best lighting and minimal or soft shadows it is not to set up an elaborate scene as the emphasis is on the product.
I have a 2 minute setup solution using Thea render.
What you need:
A good HDRI (here is a jpg of what I will use for this example)
Then you need another map, this time a pure white image:
The method here is you put the HDRI in the IBL slot (Image based lighting) and you put the pure white image in the background slot.
Now you create a ground plane and remove all materials and create a shadow catcher in Thea materials.
Done, now UV map and add material to model and render with Presto MC less than 2 minutes each.

what's a render?

I'm not a fan of Green....Edit; sorry I only just noticed that you wanted everyone to use the same colour.
