Thanks Rich & boo.

Ah, ok.

Is that for raspberries or bananas?

Well thanks for the very kind words guys.

...trying to model and rendering a light bulb like that? Share the recipe?

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.

Thanks.

Was it difficult for you to do this? It looks really time-consuming.

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

Thanks guys.

The background is an EXR or modeled too? Nice texturing!

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

Thanks everybody once again.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

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.

Lovely little guys.

Eh, the famous Irish bananas...
How are the puppies?

Still dusty.
Here everything as usual...
Ciao.

Well done Rich.
However the levels are a bit off.

Hope you don't mind, just cleaned up from the dust...

baz, Like your list. Would possibly ad one more rank though. How about after "expert" you have "master" for those few who have reach the top of SU's Mt. Olympus.

On top add one more rank please, for Rich only: the "irish guru".

...you have to delete Lisanne in the model space AND the component window...

Hmm, if with "component window" you mean the picture below...

...then there is no need to delete anything with the method I suggested as everything will be deleted.
So I assume you meant by using the "purge unused" feature via the material panel method.

Window-->Model info-->Statistics-->Purge unused.
If you want TIG has a nice plugin, called "purge all", for that and more of course.
