Modelling a lightbulb in Blender

[Doug Armand]

For those who may be interested I am posting a series on my blog of how I am modelling and rendering an old fashioned incandescent lightbulb.

I am using Blender 2.49 and my test renders are done in Indigo v3.0

I should have it all complete in the next few days or so. Its sort of a very basic how-to but it would be nice to have some feedback from you guys - either here or anywhere else that I inhabit cyberspace

NOooooo not that thread hehe. Actually for the images I intend to use this model for I won't need to have it lit.

and thanks for the blog comments - the skin is just a wordpress one so I take no credit - the blog contents though are all mine ))

HIJACK ALERT!

You show me yours, I'll show you mine.
Takes forever to render this. Worse than frickin' milk.

Not like I was modeling a lobster masterpiece
It was supposed to go on a white website. Just tried a dark version of it.
