For my lamp design I wanted to create a circular lamp hence the name "Glowbe." The lamp is not huge and is designed to sit on a small table next to a chair. The lamp features three legs to support its self because I did not want the lamp to look very clunky. To create this lamp I started off with a basic form that I created by revolving a closed planar curve. I used the contour and section command to create the individual pieces that fit together. To create the notches I used the pipe tool to form a shape that I used to split the contours and sections. Then I used the MassiveUnroll script to lay out all the pieces on a flat board to be lazer cut. For my choice of materials I wanted to stay true to what the actual lamp will be. I used light oak for the body and glass for the bulb. The lighting is a combination of a customized hdr background as well as using the area diffuse light to cast the light onto the ground.
