I can't see where the products are listed, but I really want to render with the same tone and lighting and accurate shadows.
How could I go about that?

Sorry for the question spams I'm quite new!

    It looks like a pretty simple 3-point light setup.

    A key (main) light, a fill light and a rim (back light). The key will be the main shadow casting light, with the other two having shadows turned off. There could also be a 'bounce' or ambient light. If there is, it would probably be a UberEnvironment, probably with occlusion. They are probably spotlights, but there is a good chance the key light is an 'area' light (another included in DS Uber product).

    Here's a tutorial on setting up a 3-point system...

    The tutorial is actually for Poser, but the principles are the same...just how to load the lights and some of the settings are different. I couldn't find one as clear at showing the basic set up that was DS specific.

    I also have a 3-light tutorial on my blog (linked in my signature) which uses DAZ Studio as the program I set it up in.
