How to create embossed text in Cinema 4D. See example

Question

Hi. Welcome to GDSE. I don't think it looks like something created in 3D software, more like a chrome effect created in Photoshop, from a simple 2D graphic. Have a look at my answer to this question: How do you achieve this colorful chrome effect — Billy Kerr, Commented Jun 3, 2019 at 16:02

In Cinema4D you'd load the shape file as a spline object (or write your Text in a Text-object, which essentially is also a spline object.

You put the spline object in a Extrude-Nurbs and change the nurbs' caps attributes to have a fillet.

This is done in Photoshop.

Using the emboss effect, cracking up the curves, then applying a gradient map.

The flares / glares are then added in after.
