Luxo Lamp

I’m not trying to replicate Pixar’s Luxo Jr., but I cannot say they didn’t inspire me to create a Luxo lamp. I need to add springs between hinges, and need to texture and add a surface/table. What really stands out that needs changing? I’ve gotten to the point that after staring at this for five hours, I can’t see anything major that needs changing (of course there is so much to do still, though).
Thanks .

That is just so cool! You must animate it!

make the lampshade longer and it’ll look perfect.

I agree with zymn, oh, and a light bulb would be cool… :slight_smile:

Thanks guys!
Yea, you are right, the lamp shade needs to be longer.
ANd there is a light bulb – I should probably make it a bit bigger.
For this model, how would you animate it? An armature? That’s what I’ll probably end up doing anyway.

Also, how do you get that filtered look? (I have attached two jpgs to represent what I mean)

Only 2 things really stand out to me.

1 has already been pointed out and thats the size of the bulb,
The other is the way the lights being projected. I’d of thought that the beam from the light would fill more of the shade like in colemeister14’s second image.
