Bevel Modifier

The bevel modifier didn’t really have a big impact on the lamp shade, but I knew it was working since the grid layout would light up to a brighter orange wherever it was applicable even if it looked like nothing changed. Wound up going with 0.2m for the amount and 4 segments for the shade. Also applied it to varying degrees on the stem bits to give a less sharp cutty feel to the stem. Also just realized that in my haste to make a lesson lamp I forgot to scale it appropriately, so the lamp is huge!

Added the bevel mod to the straight lamp as well, oddly enough i was looking for a way to make the shade have more defined ridges without having sharp corners so it worked out well without any tweaks. I do want a smooth rounded edge at the top and bottom where the holes are though. gonna finish the lesson just in case something like that comes around, but if not I’m guessing I’ll have to make the edges mean curve 100% to get the desired effect.
