Default lamp shade

you know, for all my angst over creating a lamp shade, why can't you just use an sss material? i'm reading up on it now but just throwing a real basic sss material on a lamp shade with a mr area omni in it seems to be heading in the right direction.

Default Re: lamp shade

you could use SSS, but why make it so complicated? try using some self illumination, coupled with a bit of translucency. I did an interesting lampshade a little while ago, I'll see if I can drag it out
