Hi all, this is a lamp I designed. it's a table lamp called King_Light (for now)...

I like the design. I think maybe the actually light shouldn't be directional. It looks as if the light is pointing in a direction when the design implies its evenly distributed around the light. Do you know what I mean(talking about the blue light on the table)?

[Hervé]

You're right ! there is a reflection, but maybe I should lower it, no ? or maybe I should not reduce the reflected color intensity so much (I am using Hypersmooth) , because then one think it's a light pointing down.... good point .

I'll fix that...

Maybe, have it sorta going in all directions around the base of the lamp.?

[Hervé]

thanks for the help aparichy, I'll see what I can do.

Later, Hervé

The blue light on the table is the reflection of the lamp, so it is of course directional. Otherwise i would try to give the lamp a more glassy look, to me its a bit to cartoonish. And add a backround in the second picture to give more depth. Otherwise nice lamp.

looks like it would make a pretty groovy hat as well..
do me a favour?
put it on the "Stuhead_ WithEndomorphs" character(in objects/characters) with radiosity turned on..
that should look pretty cool!
nice tabletop too..
