          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.

                                        nice. Add a gap at the swivel joint so you see it's not one solid piece.

                                          Oddly enough, there is already a gap there. Something about the render is making it disappear.

                                          I am currently rendering it with Exterior Daytime Progressive.

                                            Higher definition render from Twilight. If you look close, you can now see the gap in the elbow pivot.
                                            The lamp shade is also now the proper color. This is new lamp just purchased a month ago.
