Greetings everyone. I have this piece here I've been playing with. I have 3 basic questions (at this point). 1) Look at the lampshade. I made the material slightly transparent so it would let some of the light through. The effect looks okay on the wall and such. But the lampshade itself doesn't look right. I would like to be able to have a truly diffuse material that will let LIGHT through but not any IMAGE, or at best a very very blurry image. Notice that you can see sharpness and clarity of the shade holder wire and even the bulb with no diffusion. Not realistic at all. 2) I've seen a lot of other folks "room corner" type abstract scenes and the light looks cool and surreal. Maybe I need some help in that way here? A light dome? Something else? 3) I like this image, but it just looks too CG to me. Too amatuerish really. I know I need something else to punch it to a higher degree of realism or impact but not sure what else. Perhaps my textures are too simplistic? Sometimes that looks good (in a surreal way) but not here. Any suggestions?
