As you can see the lamp has a repeating pattern and if we swap each part with a (once divided) plane it looks like this:  The brown is the pattern, the white rims we will extrude later-on, and the dark-brown is the only part we have to model, because we will use arrays and and a circular curve. This is a standardtechnique and if you don't know it, watch this tut from Andrew Price [how to make a cartyre in blender](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhmRn-tYtxE) :D The set-up would look like this  Modeling: Add the backgroundimage and a plane, subdevide 10 times (that's 10 loops, not 10 mouseclicks), delete all except the rim, select one vert, shift-D, grab and now outline the holes by extruding this one vert. Fill with planes when ready. You will have to move the outer rim a bit. Keep in mind that the arrays have to merge later on so keep adjacent (=opposite) rims the same by only moving those verts in pairs. The result should look like this, though less sloppy if you want a crease or a bevel. I had to remodel.  As you can see I compensated for the perspective warping by using adjacent shapes as well. Here we add the two arrays, but if we ad the curvemodifier now we only get a cilinder. We need one more curve, and we could use another curve-mod for that, but instead we apply the vertical array straight away now, and use the warptool for that second curve. Now I can't explain everything full scale, if you don't know this tool then read this [warp transformation](http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Transformations/Advanced/Warp) You'll find the tool under mesh,--- transform,---warp. Warp some 85-ish degrees (the safe side of 90) in editmode toward what will be the inside.Things should look like this in objectmode now:(without the curve-modifier)  And like your lampshape in objectmode, when you enable the curve-mod again. The rest is straightforward: Add solidify, subsurf, a crease or a bevel, apply the array and the curvemodifier....(unfortunately you have to because of that final seam):  The array should merge first and last too, (I think?) but it never does. You must do it by hand which means apply the curve first. Cherio.....

Awesome !!! It just looks like a real lamp with realistic light effect. Good tutorial as well!!

Thankyou great model!

I struggled for weeks trying to accomplish this lighting effect for the Bates Mansion. I never succeeded.

woooowww amazing.... seems difficult to model but as you have done, it looks great and easy
