I like them both also, but the first one is two fuzzy for me. I like the wavy lines of the second.
Maybe a mix of both?

Can you post your model (or upload somewhere)?

Nice furniture Dean,
thanks

Thanks Fredrik!

The translucent material were just what I was looking for - don't know how I missed them before. I used those materials for the shades and just replaced the spotlights with a face and the illuminat material mapped to them - very easy to control. Here is an update with those changes - I still have a little more tweaking I want to do.

Thanks for the feedback guys - great suggestions!

As I intend to use this method again - I will likely work on a whole library of WC tree variations with more coordinated and seasonal colors. Nick - I really like the edges suggestion. That could be a big difference in a series of images like this when viewed together. While there is not s much control as other methods - to be able to quickly crank this type of output straight from SU with styles is very cool! 😎

These are really well crafted. Do you have more objects like these, especially from Artemide? I have been looking for such designer lamp objects a long time, its not that easy to find them

Very handy!
Thanks for sharing.
