Umm - this is just a test of the lamp shade, ignore the lack of scene. It's a combo of sss and transmittance, with a bump. Once I get it looking ok I can use it in the scene I'm working on. I noticed that the bumped spots look dark especially when the bulb inside is turned down, probably for a good reason that I dont understand?

Fantastic material!

I have to say that your ricepaper looks great! very realistic done. About the bumped areas, shouldn't they be like that in real life too.. i mean the paper is slightly thicker where the bump is and the increased thickness of the ricepaper ain't letting the same amount of light through as it non-bumped parts of the paper does. If that makes sense..

Good job!

Very nice!
I wish I had some clue how to do such things.

You said "ain't." That's just fantastic.

On-topic, that is an amazing material. Great job I hope you'll be sharing it on the MXM site.

Cheers everyone, also, I forgot to mention that I used the bump map found in alsohund's 'rough paper' in the mxmgallery. Since I'm clueless about making decent bump maps like that

Great!!!

If you want to share this I would be so happy! I was just about to take the plunge into my own rice paper material.

It is looking really good, btw.

Agreeing with Maximus3D, i guess this happens since bump doesn't take into consideration SSS, meaning that bump is somehow "bidimensional" and only normals and relative light incidence affect it.

huh, great

show us more

FAKE!!! it's not connected

The material looks awesome!!!

This one is burning a hole in my brain......
Would you mind describing what you used as an emitter? Size, shape and number of polys.....
Thanks in advance.

Fantastic

I used a standard incandescent bulb. I made the surface of the bulb glass equivalant to a 40w bulb. The bulb object has 11868 triangles!!!


The lampshade is .01" thick, about 22" tall and about 14" dia. at its widest.
