Looks great

Does the wire at the top move when the lamp is adjusted?

Yes they were moving, but I took them off as it wasn’t looking that great

Beautiful, love the attention to detail!

Yes, I must say beautiful job and excellent detail!

Thank you both :slight_smile:

This was the end result: End of lesson 5, my results

Again, very nice job!

May I ask how you got the base and shade so nicely shiny? I was shooting for that type of effect on my lamp but just could seem to get there. I guess practice is the thing to do.

Well, it’s just a glossy effect along with a mix shader. Here a screen of the material

Thank you for sharing!

This is the lamp after applying your settings. It gives it a more realistic enameled looking finish.

This is before with my settings. I was way off the mark for shiny! Also, it made a huge difference to have white for the glossy color. I had added the red color to the glossy shader in an attempt to darken the color but see that it caused the lamp to be more of a matte finish, softening the gloss.

You’re welcome! It definitly looks better! Not that the first attempt was bad, but maybe not really metal like, bit more, maybe, wooden?
