Table Lamp [WIP]

[Rich O Brien]

Hi,

Don't post my models very often, i'm a little shy!

Here's a lamp i did to help me practice with Twilight.

You can download it from here if you want?

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

And here's an attempt at rendering it, not happy with the glass yet, but feel free to tear me to shreds

No need to be shy Rich, models are always welcome

Try the Realistic Glass > Plexiglass template and render with Easy 09.

Hi Rich,

Its nice! I'd make the base shinier to get some nice reflections showing...maybe the Metal > Silver template. Posting WIP's to get feedback is one of the best ways to learn, so don't be shy

Hi Rich, I worked around a lamp a lot, looking for a good setting between the lamp itself emission and outfield light, it's very difficult and finally for the best result i took the picture with the lamp turned off!
I think yours is a good starting work

Top tip will definitely try it later and can i ask which material you used for the stand? Ideally I'd like a 'Tarnished Brass' or 'Antique Brass' but yours was fairly close to what i modelled from. I especially like the glass.

Thanks d12dozr, I agree with you on that one

Thanks, i agree with the difficulty, it's breaking my b#lls!

The bump you used on the glass, how did you achieve this? That bump and Ecuadorian's Plexiglass tip together is the exact finish i want.

Again thanks for taking the time to 'play around' with the model and give me some great advice

regards,
Rich

It's a Kerkythea library called "patterned glass" materials (you should be able to find it in that jungle somewhere - I think Flatch has a sticky somewhere).

Anyway, since that's from alibrary, you cannot modify it (its colours) in TL but if you send the whole thing to KT, do what you want/can (and you can even save it as a new/modified mat.pack)

Exactly...
You can see KT as the render studio application for Twilight Render, with an advanced material editor etc...
