I’ve spent the last few hours tinkering with the site. I know it isn’t too much to look at – still rather simple – but that isn’t always a bad thing. It is well past time to call it a night, so I’ll just post a little concept model I’ve put together and rendered in LightWave 11.5 (which is now my primary tool of choice). Make of it what you will, but I think it looks more than vaguely organic. Now I’ve got a few different ideas to pursue for future models – one more organic and one less so, and more of an unconventional decorative light stand. The bulbs are lit via the ambient channel combined with GI. LightWave doesn’t seem to have a function to turn surfaces into more traditional light sources.
