+1.

Have you used thin glass for the diffusor? If so i would try with clear glass (dielectric) maybe with 2% of roughness. -
I used the clear glass not the thin for everything. It could be how I constructed it though.
Should the outer diffuser be a solid?
-
No, I don't think so. That is for the SSS & medium. Maybe just too thin?
-
always the perfectionist. you're welcome to have a pop at it if you want

You're so right...
Gimme. -

Now it looks like a fish bowl

A very quick try with Thea: 4 passes 20 m, TR2 supersampling=high, no post pro (just a little bit of radial glare 3% in Thea's dark room). Keeping your model untouched with the exception of the chrome portion on the inner bulb. Still thinking that 1mm of thickness for the diffuser is a bit little. Also maybe it worth a try to model the diffuser with variable thickness.

I was trying to figure how to a chrome tip that faded to transparent.
Thanks for taking peep
-
Well you're right, didn't tried that.
-
Excellent!
At what step did you use Curviloft?

How is the fade? Still needs a bit more cooking of course.

Can you share the material setup. I've a mapped inner bulb but getting the setup on materials is confusing. Did you texture the inner mesh of the smaller bulb and apply a coating?
-
I've used a gradient map as a mask. In SU I've textured both faces of the small bulb with it. PM'ed both the textured model and the material.

-
it just gets betterer and betterer.....!!!

-
great work rich! Ingenious with the texture massimo!
-
Since someone asked me, here is how the material is made. Quite simple. Rich modeled the bulb with thickness, so the gradient map is applied on both outer & inner face of the model.
Hope you don't mind for the intrusion Rich.

very clever indeed, much appreciated posting the material settings
