          Twilight Render, medium preset.
          Default Realistic Glass material
          HDRI from the Sketucation Store Studio pack.

          Nice. May I ask your TW settins?

            As 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.

                  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).

                    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

                      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)

                      C_Studio_08.jpg

                      Then you need another map, this time a pure white image:

                      white pure.png

                      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.

                      Raw renders.

                                It the image which looks like an office in the lower right of the screen shot pertinent, or only the position of the Dragon on the geometry?

                                  The image looking like an office is - I assume - the IBL/HDRI used for this scene... 😉

                                    All the images in this thread with light highlights and other reflections on the dragon are created with rendering add-ons to SketchUp which create photorealistic, rendered, images from the SketchUp model.

                                          I gave it a try with Brighter3D.
                                          The lighting is provided by a HDR image of uffizzi museum and you can see it reflected on the mirror ball.
