Object: Bauhaus Wagenfeld Lamp

[Viper]

It looks really good, but I would render with radiosity and an Area light. It would turn out even better :)

Beautiful classical design, I've got one on my desk here :) .

looking very good..

after looking for it for a while, what MIGHT be missing is the right part of the glass sphere being a bit lighter... since its glass after all.
sounds like a job for subsurface scattering.. or just stick a light there.. ;)

Looks good, how’d you make that background? Can you post a screenshot, and explain a little

[lurifrax]

nice :thumbsup:

Thanks for all your posts !!!

So Soljarag here is a litte explaination on how this picture is done.

I always use a standard three point lightning for texturing my objects (just send a message if you want it).
If the objects looks good on this setup, it looks good in mostly every scene
My three point lightning contains a Main (the only shadow casting light !), Hair and Fill light, the object that needs to be textured is standing on a groove (is groove the right word, if not please send me a mail, don’t want to die to dumb) and somewhere behind the camera is a softbox, just for reflection (luminosity 100 %).
You can see this reflection easily on the top left of the lamp-shade, there is just a reflective polygon there. (outside of the camera view)
I

As the background I used a gradient map (distance to camera) on my groove.
The rendering time is under a minute, resolution 600x800, area lights (just the main light, because of the shadows), antialiasing enhanced low, athlon 1800 with 1 gb ram)

Here is the screenshot…



I think Stimpy is right with his comments, I need to try lightwaves new surface thickness gradient....

Thanxs to everybody

Woo!:buttrock:

[Soljarag]

thanks for the reply robinson :thumbsup: going to try it now

[clam_mechanic]

well, I didnt even know about the "soft groove" so you might not want to take my opinion to seriously, (not to mention you got first place)...but i think on the top of the lamp next to the reflection is seems a it washed out, maybe if you turn down the key light it would help to see those beautiful reflections a bit better.
