      Inspired by my goldfish. Setup in sketchup. Lightbulb and fish from the 3d warehouse. Rendered in Hypershot

      Update - smoother bulb with added light intensity.

        Neat concept! Could be smoother though...

          PDC - Neat idea. Increase the number of bounces to get rid of some of the artifacts you see.

            Cool concept but if you are going to have the lightbulb as the main focal point then a high poly lightbulb is a must.

              That's pretty cool and I must agree getting a higher polygon bulb will help, maybe just apply one iriteration of SDS to smooth it.

                Yeah I agree everyone. The bounces were already set at their highest, shadow quality not though. I tried 1 iriteration and in fact it worked the first time but I got greedy and went for 2 and messed things up. Now 1 doesn't seem work anymore (at least with regard to texture preservation).. will try again. Thanks for the feedback!

                  Hope you do not mind, I liked the idea so much that I thought I'd give it a go too.
                  I used Vue for the render.

                        Not at all, v nice. Your fishbulb appears to be a lot more robust than mine! I have to say i'm interested in trying out vue. So a few quick questions for the vue master: whats the learning curve like? and which package would you reccommend (as there seems to be loads). Thanks

                          I think both renders would serve well with a touch of caustics reflection on the ground as the light passes through the water in the bulb.

                            Very nice renders both. When rendering, do you set the glass material to 0% opacity and reflection to 100%?

                              Totally agree, but I don't think I have that option with Hypershot? correct me if I'm wrong

                              As far as I know, v-ray is the only renderer supporting caustics at the moment.

                              Well with hypershot its simply a matter of applying a default glass material that comes with the program. If I was to make glass with Podium however I'd probably make a translucent material, set it to 10-15% opacity, and 85-90% reflection.

                                  Nah your going have to work overtime now! V-ray is the benchmark so definitely not a bad investment. Learning curve is a bit horrible though, so brace yourself for a stressful first few renders. Hmm I'd actually like to try this current render out with v-ray.. or maybe let someone else do it - how about you clickdraw?

                                    I'll give it a go for sure. I'm just waiting for my activation code via e-mail but once I have it I'm in! Post your model for me or PM me. Thanks for the chance 😄 .

                                      Jeff a Vray render of this would be great, nice one to sharpen your teeth on.
                                      Vue does caustics too, I chose not to have them as they complicated the scene to much (looked very busy)
                                      Vue's learning curve is hard to assess, I learned it so long ago, on version 4, it was easy as I only used it to create terrains for use in Max, and over time I started to learn it without trying to learn it. Vue is pretty straight forward really, the only difficult part is the node based functions IMO.

                                          Thanks for sharing the model. I ran the bulb through SDS with 1 iteration and then gave it a go with hypershot. Render took about 3 min.
