[Ecuadorian]

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

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...
