Create a poly plane underneath your object and resize it. then create a poly sphere.
Resize the sphere so its larger than the whole scene.
Go into front or side view and cut the sphere in half Horizontally (delete the lower half) by deleting the faces. Assign the hemisphere a new lambert and raise the ambience and translucent sliders both to 75%
In your mental ray render globals set the quality level to production, then go down to the final gather tab and enable it.
Render away
You should have the same reuslts.

concorddawned is giving everyone a good lesson on material. Alright so I got my hemisphere and i gave its ambience and trans up to 75% and I just assigned a plane brand new lambert to all my other materials and this is what im comming up with. I tried changing the color of the lamber but it still looked very similar. Ohhh im sooo close to getting that type of render.

Try Raising the Ambient/Incandescecence on the lambert for your object to around 5%
Then Change the colour. Make sure u have RGB selected (not HSV) andenter these numbers...
R ---- .624
G ---- .575
B ---- .430
That should work.

Just set everything to a clay lambert colour and set the settings to production again, then create a image based lighting node and render.
