This creator made these great effects i was wondering if there are other? tools which can cause it to look like that? Or maybe some other techniques?
Oh i also use Render "lightning effects" on cloth sometimes too.

Ty for your help

Greetings

Have you looked into the Plastic Wrap filter? Very useful for shinny surfaces. "How to Cheat in Photoshop" as a whole chapter on it.

That illustration looks like gradients on a mesh or a displacement map?
