Edison light & material graph

I’ve just started learning about material graphs & it’s mind blowing.it’s a pity I didn’t catch up to it before🥺

Nice! I just think the lamp socket has too little roughness for a worn rusty kind of socket. It depends a bit on the material you used but in reality you would have a bit more gloss at the parts with still paint on it and less on the parts where the paint is gone and you see rusty metal.

What I often do is look at real images to get the feeling of how the look should be and how especially reflections are like. If you look around your desk you’ll see that roughness really defines how you think a product feels but also how it will react on the lamp above your desk for example.

Well done BODOCAD!
I like the lighsource and the details of it.
I also agree with @oscar.rottink: add a little bit more roughness to the socket or even try another material. For me it looks more like marble than a metal surface.
Also I would try to use a different background: I really like, that you are creating lifestyle pictures, but sometimes it can be a little distracting if there is too much going on in the background. Try to place the camera angle, that the pendant lights are only “in front” of the clouds/sky; therefore you get a nice “clean” background and a better contrast of the product you want the person to pay attention to.

On top of that, try to add another lightsource which is directed to the light-sockets. You can hardly see/recognize them, but are 50% of the product. And since pendant lights are in an interior setting, there are usually more lighsources.

Hope that helped a bit and I am looking forward to seeing an update!
