Hi Everyone,
Not much going on here so I thought I would post this?

I started out wanting to make a basic clear glass lamp shade as an exercise with the honest intent of keeping it REAL this time!
Obviously I have a problem & my imagination takes over every time & the attached is the end result of my attempt at keeping it real?.

I did manage to make my glass lampshade nice & clear but as for the rest my two brain cells took over once again.

Cheers

For an engineer guy (I think I read that in one of your posts), you certainly have an artistic side David.

I would guesstimate that your brain's moment of inertia (I have no idea if I'm using that correctly... center of gravity??) is perfectly in the center-- equally right-brained and left-.

Cool thing and rendering you created.

Beautiful.

Great looking render David. Thanks for sharing.

Great Render... the black background, reminds me of Brad Easterday's Glass Lightworks Competition 1st runner up render entry:

Very nice!. I like the look of the blue flame. How did you accomplish that?

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Alvin!
I am not talking about myself here but many engineers do possess incredible ingenuity & are very meticulous about what they do, you only have to look at Henry's works to see this. I know many who excel in just about "anything" they do!

Ha, I have one brain cell on the right & one on the left so I guess I'm balanced pretty good!

Henry, that was a surprise comment, thanks!

Glad you liked it Don!

Thanks for posting that image Darrel, interesting, & thanks for the comment!

Jason,
It's a bit of TC magic that I have been working at & trying to get a handle on.
When I can give you an informative description of how to achieve it without issues I will certainly share with you!

Thanks again Everyone, much appreciated!

Cheers
David

David this is a gorgeous use of TurboCAD.

Is this LWRender or RedSDK?

Deluxe or Pro?

Could we use this as a promo image?

Hi Travis,
Thanks for the comment, it's appreciated!

I'll have to say this quietly!
2016 Pro Plat RedSDK.
"Can you use it as a promo image"
Not a problem, use it if you wish!

Cheers
David

Awesome! Tutorial when you get the time please! Would love to know how you did this.

Beautiful image.

I am very curious how you did it, so I second the motion that you post a tutorial.
