        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)

            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.

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

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

                      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.

                                            i almost switched to thea a while back.. i tried it for a few days and i liked it.
                                            it's just when i had to make some renders for a project, i ended up using indigo for it since it's more familiar and i like that one too.

                                            idk, i guess if rendering was a more important aspect of my work -- or, if i were more passionate about rendering from a hobby pov, i'd be more inclined to switch over or experiment with thea more..
                                            but for my requirements, i'm pretty happy with indigo so i'll probably just keep using it
                                            (not to mention, i have a lifetime indigo license so.... 😉 )

                                            oh.. right-- that would present a challenge 👊

                                            i was thinking of the tin can rendering you did a few months ago which had some old looking metal on it and thought something similar would look nice on the dragon.. but yeah, the tin can was round and way easier to map.
