Vintage table lamp

massimo

This has been in my computer for quite a long time now. It was modeled starting from the real thing. I decided to try a couple of shots after a pretty quick set-up.

Sketchup + Thea + a slight touch of pp with Arionfx.

Gorgeous. Everything about it is gorgeouss. The camera, the texture, the light, the model.

The background is simply a HDRI. You can find it in the sIBL archive, it's called "van Kleef 3".

Great work! Looks very real! Was it difficult for you to do this? It looks really time-consuming.

Thanks.

No, neither difficult nor time consuming. As I said it was a quick set-up.

That's awesome. Looks can be deceiving, I guess I could've sworn this was extremely difficult to make, but I like getting surprised

Perfection
This deserves to be in the most impressive thread.

terrific. I have really struggled. . .well. . .kinda. . .but not really. . .trying to model and rendering a light bulb like that?

Share the recipe?

Well thanks for the very kind words guys.

The original model of the bulb is on warehouse if I recall well, but I've made some tweaks like, for example, giving thickness to the filament. As you can see also the bulb has thickness.
Here you have some ss of the model and the material applied to the filament.
The bulb has a standard thin film glass material on it.
Of course there is a bit of radial glare in the final image (something like weight = 30% and radius = 4%) coming directly from Thea's darkroom.

Hope this helps a bit.
