There's three things that could be happening in terms of rendering here. It may be a viewport grab, in which case they are using specialized materials like an equivalent to the 3-point shader for 3dsMax (which is what I am guessing it is). They could be using a secondary realtime rendering engine like Marmoset. Or, and least likely, they are using a specialized shader like the mia-material in Mental Ray and rendering it out that way.

Check this out: 3-Point Shader

Use area lights, ambient lightning and mental ray. Then you will get very realistic results.

This tutorial will explain how to set up this kind of lightning :
