[pbfanatic]

lol All in fun I might even have a 3rd.

This is actually my first time ever participating in anything like this. I just started learning in Maya a few months ago. Pretty cool. I've seen FX stuff over in CGTalk. But that is way beyond my capabilities.

Well after searching the net I finaly found how to acheive an effect for my previous lamp and now I have just made the changes and I am updating my picture.... (hopefully it's allowed) If you want me to remove it just tell me....

here is entry re-entered

all I did extra was add a little texture and bumb map to the side panels or the rice paper which is what it is supposed to be haha.... and I was trying to get an effect like light behind paper... and this is as best as I could get it

made from same programs

The wood looks very repeated on the bottom square support, especially on the closest piece.
