my little lamp hack

This is a little self made lamp we made with ikea stuff, for the real one we didn't use a circular saw blade, since they were pretty expensive, we used some other thing, you'll see, but I wanted to see how it would look as planned. Hope you'll like it. When pre 2.3_5 comes out I'll test the new light emmitters and once I get the picture as I want it, I'll post along the "real" thing. It was tons of fun doing the lamp, both in the real world and in octane's.
The short "lamps" use a low 2700º 14w bulbs and the long ones 6500º 20w ones or at least that's the idea. The whole scene is 1M polys, and the light emmiters are 22k each.
The "day" hasn't been retouched at all, and the "night" one has been downsized to half.
edit: I almost forget, for the "lamp" material I used Ttaberna's inox (thanks mate, and to all that upload materials)

Now thats a cool looking lamp! I think you should use the saw-blade, would be worth the extra dollars if you ask me. Nice render too!

thanks guys, I always thought that octane's logo was very much like a saw blade, besides they are THE cutting edge, so....
Also, shopping in IKEA having an idea in your mind and finding an object that suits it is really fun. I'll post a few more shots later, and also there is some little improvement we want to make to the real thing that I'll try to see how it looks with octane, but it'll have to wait till v5, I had no idea how much light 2x20watt + 2x14watt could shed in a living room till we turned it on, :lol:
The blade looks cool, but the real one, is not bad option either, you'll tell me.
Thanks again. ;)

well, hope you like them, 3 more, I think that will be all till I add new things for the pre2.3_5.
No retouching, just resized, specs on filenames.
Cheers
