this really is basic stuff here. read the manual or try out experimenting with lights. you cant go wrong.

 

2 simple methods to achieve that effect -

 

1) use no lights what so ever. just let c4d's standard Autolight light the scene

2) use 1 omni light with simple attenuation applied (ie, near/far clipping)

 

(infact you dont even need clipping. just an omni will do)

Well i am going to have to show my lack of ability in this area as i have tried many hours to get a resault with no luck

 

there was two screen shots at that link 1 made in cinema and 1 with chief archiect the one in cinema is not how i would like and the one in chief is ok

 

i find if i use one simple omni or default light i either get dark areas or over exposed never can i seem to get even lit envirorment
