Seems like you downloaded a pack of effect c4ds. Nothing is wrong they're just normally on a black BG.

Could try that. Maybe will lead me to something good. :(

Anything you can think of, really. Don't let anything I say limit you but what I used to use them for, still do from time to time, was to spice up my BG. Send the c4d through liqufy play around until you get something you're pleased with and set it to "linear dodge"or "screen" which ever looks better depending on the c4d.. End result should be something like this, from one colour to what you see in the screenshot.

Spoiler!

How come.. When I use the pen tool, the space between 2 anchor points is always filled? If you get what I mean.

it's the pentool settings in your top bar that does this.
make the settings like this:

Stocks
Lighting is complicated and I dont feel like explaining it. It may confuse you but all I can say is the brushed lighting is unrealistic. It makes the area look like theres a spot light on your focal.
