I made Lamp Base Model today.
Please share suggestions and feedback.
Pretty good. Physics-wise it would have an issue, though. Mainly with the weight being incorrectly distributed on the base (easy to tip due to center of gravity placement). Your stem would be fat, which is fine, requiring the rest of your model to have (if you’re going for realism) thinness in comparison. If you’re NOT going for realism, then it ultimately matters not. At all. You should do what you feel is best in your creative interest in the end.
Here’s my model and you can see the proportions are vastly different. I’m showing you this as a reference if you decide that this is the path you want to take. I still sometimes debate whether the base size is correct… bigger is always better in terms of stability, and “cone-ness” is a major factor in that as well. (Note that I remade all parts from stem up about 3-4 times before I settled for this final version.)
Here’s the rendered view without backdrop:
