It is a 3D render.

The colour treatment? You can do most of that with a Gradient Map. In the example below, I'm using a Gradient Map that's set to 80% opacity.

Although I am not sure exactly what you mean, if I wanted to achieve this effect, I would:


Make the brights brighter and darks darker via levels or contrast
Drop the saturation a bit
And possibly add a grunge texture to make it more gritty


Hope this helped!
