Hey, that's very impressive! Modeling is awesome and lightning folows it! I would try different background, but that is just personal taste...
Can you tell us more about that rendering method? Is that plugin for mental ray? What effect is that plugin made for?

hello d.sign,
thanks for your reply. the images was rendert in cinema

lumen is a lighting plugin that allows you to place object, especially lights on objects. in this image i used a half sphere "skydome" for the lighting.
the beautiful on this plugin is that you can apply a texture to your lightdome
and lumen transferred the color to your lights. simply a skydome with different colors

jeso, that's an awesome work man!!!

the modeling as well as lighting is top notch. Cinema 4d is very powerful specially in lighting and rendering, I heard before also.

Thanks for sharing this amazing work with us and we would like to see some more works of you.

I have always thought that C4D produced beautiful renderings, but lately I have heard that the render engine is one of the weaknesses of the program, and I just don't see how that can be true unless it is really hard to set up a scene to render right.

That was off topic, the rendering looks great, it has a very sharp transition from focus to out of focus, but it looks great! bump mapping or displacement mapping for the engraving?

Very interesting plugin! Something like simple version of HDRI, and you can make it by yourself! Great!
It is good to see one Cinema user here, stick around and share more of your work with us... There will be some challenges here soon and it would be good to involve Cinema user... We are also curious to know more about the Cinema software from the users angle...

thank you all for your kind comments

cinemas renderengine is one of the fastes i have ever seen.
to produce realistic images with cinema is up to you but if you knwo witch setting you should use you could render really fast and cool images.
you have many possibilities with cinema and his renderengine
