If that title is gibberish to you, then you obviously don’t know about smart image based lighting in Cinema 4D.

Here are a few quick renders I did, using a few different sIBL sets from HDRLabs.com. Grouped images all use the same background, which is just rotated to show how the lighting changes automagically.
