    Re: glass effect

    I just realized why the glass part is so opaque. I just got out another bulb, and it`s a Soft White bulb (just like the one I used for reference). They really look like that. They are that non-translucent.

    That`s a good tip, though lasa. Did you distort with a displacement map, or spherise ?

    Lol. Well, I'd say you did a great job on that bulb. It looks very nice. Thanks for the tip. [righton]
    It took me all my life to get where I am now.

    Looks good, but it's different kind of light bulb. I would like to see someone take docilebob's light bulb and improve upon, but keeping it the same kind. Sadly I'm pretty busy right now, otherwise I would give it a shot. Any volunteers?

    C'mon everybody show me your bulbs !!
    I have a feeling I`ll regret saying that. Aw, well, bring em on.

    No one has an opinion (or bulbs or their own ?) ? I find that hard to believe.

    Or did I miss a meeting ?

    Nothing there to tear up. You've hit the reflections right on with this render. The shadow may be a bit over the top, but that's just a first impression. Good work.
