Attempting to make an old fashion light bulb like those in the early 20th century. This isn't the finished model, just trying to figure out how to use tS lights to make the filament area glow like the old time filaments.


I used the reflective panels to see all sides of it.


The glass shader was from Shader Magic, smokey gem I think was the name.

Adding Blind Bradley Harlow's unfinished piano to the light bulb. :D


Keyboard and hinged keyboard cover is next.

Hi James,


You could try using an emmissive material for the fillament. Also good is to use a transparency maped object around the fillament to fake the glow.


Best of luck! :)

What a clever idea! So simple and effective but it never occured to me before - thanks for a good idea!
