I guess I'll summarize then.
Create a plane for yer mech 2 stand on and suround him with a resized sphere like you would HDRI or somethin like that. Make everything lambert and a light color like grey or white.
Go to render settings, then Image Based Lighting and click create. Attach yer HDR image to the light node and voila.
