My motivation just took a nose dive.

Holy ****! That is probably some of the best renders I have ever seen. Really, ever. Before I read the description I thought that they where real life pics, and renders would come after, but then I read, and was like... Jesus!

Nothing special Rich

a realistic bulb lamp is one of the most difficult thing I have ever tried
...without success obviously

since the image is perfect, the only lack I notice (not your fault) is a odd behaviour of Thea with the out of focus areas, some metal reflections look crisp and fake. I already saw this effect in other works before.
Do you agree with this? perhaps is related to the render method you used?

Really nice job on modeling and texturing!

Just curious: what was the render time for one of these images?

Congratulations!

Really? I see nothing really odd in the reflections... Anyway did not compared different render methods. That was TR1, I'll make a comparison with different presets.

Render time was quite quick (something like 80 passes per hour with progressive TR1) with the exception of the image with the light on, but you have to consider that the emitter's light shines through a double thin glass (the bulb) + a double glass with refraction (the diffuser) and caustics are involved.
