A Victorian student Lamp, a one off design modelled in Blender and textured using Gimp and Blenders texture paint tool.
These lamps were oil fuelled and used before homes had electricity on tap. Used from the early 1800’s, some original lamps have now been converted and fitted with bulbs but still hold their beauty and most are now decrative pieces within home.
I’ve struggled with detail mainly because of the (free) software that I use but have learnt a few tricks when texturing and map making and tried not to make the model look to pixilated when adding detail from a bump map. These truly are a piece of art work within their selves and hats off to those who made and still make these, I hope I’ve done those who make them justice by modelling one.
I aplogise for the vert count but had fun modelling this and agian learnt some more tricks along the way, 6 months in and enjoying it. Feel free to alter model and or texture, I hope you enjoy the model.
