      Nice one.

      Thanks. This is mostly a project to get 2015 set up and running. This is the first time I've used 2015 to make a model, so I needed to tweek and configure the preferences and learn where some of the setting controls moved to.

      You would not believe how long I struggled with the new arc tools. πŸ’š

            Not much to look at, but here is the lamp shade.

                The little thin support rods for the shade were a pain. Who knew?

                Next will be color and then final renders.

                                A bit of a blinder mate, pun intended. Nice one.

                                      First render in Kerkythea. Looks terrible. This is why I need the upcoming book.

                                        Twilight wouldn't even give me an image after 20 minutes.
                                        Kerky looks bad.

                                        I am definitely doing something wrong.

                                          Try downloading the file that they use for the Twilight test render. It has a lamp --although the shade for that one is glass. Might be a start. You might copy the materials and lighting or look at what they did.

                                            Excellent suggestion pbacot! Thanks. I'll try that next.

                                            Here is the result of no emitter and straight sky. I need to figure out how to get rid of the banding on the background. This is High 7+ in Twilight. I will probably need to go even higher.
