Just some more shots I’ve worked on, the bulb has a issue that it doesn’t seem to let the light through the glass material, so I had to add a emission to the glass bulb itself to get the glow to appear on its surface and beyond, however this now gives a effect of being bright and showing a glowing filament inside (which I thought was a nice touch).

I then added it to the wall scene and added a normal/grayscale map tot he displacement section of the wall. Then added some fancy lampshade to the final piece and left it to render for 470 frames. It took 3 hours to complete (most likely to the resolution) but I love the effect its had on the wall.

Ok so recently I’ve been working on a variety of ideas to do with light,

Here is a wall which I made using some free to use textures I had to tweak to get a decent repeating pattern but the focus was to get a dark red ballroom kind of vibe.

Then I figured that the lighting could do with real lightbulbs, so I worked on building a realistic (ish) lightbulb to put in the slits, heres what it looks like:

Finally Here is early footage of Disneys attempt at early 3d rendition of “Where the wild things are”

Well its been a warm and fairly busy week but I finally sat down and did a bit of doodling of a character, just figured Id give a quick head model a try for boredom sake. About 2-3 hours work, still need to do the neck and maybe tusks/eyes.

Also a motorbike I’m making based on a certain design, ‘one internets’ for those that recognise it.
