I needed some wall mounted lights for the map, electric lamps that look modern but still not too modern. I think they look too modern for 1930, but I wasn’t around at the time and finding picture of wall mounted lamps from that time was really hard.<\/p>\n

So, this is a Cheetah3D<\/a> job. We start with a Ball and a Box, like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we cut away half the Ball using the Box and a Boolean remove. We add a flat torus ring around the back of the half ball.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We add another Box and cur away the backside of the Torus ring using a Boolean remove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we add a light texture with a lot of emission to the half Ball, the light glass. We create a Pipe, and place it so it will be visible on the front side of the lamp, cutting it clean on the back side with yet another box and boolean remove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We them add metal textures to the torus ring and the pipe, the two metal pieces of the lamp, and make the glow more yellow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, here is the lamp.<\/p>\n

Now we need some light effects, so we create a new filter in FilterForge<\/a> for that, using polygons and blurs. Here is a light effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we assemble in OmniGraffle<\/a>, here is the result, sized for Dundjinni<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here it is in the map.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this one was really nice, and the result is really good looking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
