Lamp Creation

The creation of the lamp begins with the creation of two cones placed one inside of the other. These two cones are then transformed into editable poly’s and the top and bottom removed. The cones can now be welded together to create the lamp shade.


Welding Process:

The bulb is created from an sphere and the holder another sphere added to the bulb. The cable that connects the entire lamp to the ceiling is made from the use of ‘Hose’ tool.
The bulb can now the applied with different colours (black and white) to keep it natural. The bulb can now be grouped together.

The bulb will have a spotlight installed inside the lamp unit so that then it is in the animated scene it will appear as though the bulb is turned on. The positioning of the lighting effect can be seen in the image below.

The library lamp is different from the ceiling lamp because it does dangle from a cable. The old original library light found in the current Guildhall is design like the image below. The pipe hold the cable for the lamp and is fix to the wall. It is constructed using a torus and cylinder tools and then welded together to get the right angle in the pipe.
