http://www.greycobra.com/tutorial/Boolean_Modeling/ See that lamp, the finished product? I wanna know how to make the texture for the lampshade so it looks like a real one, so the light goes through it. Basically, I want to know how to do that. Myaybe I'll rep someone if they explain it properly.
get a decent tan color in your color option, then just add a sligh transparency, leave all the other boxes unchecked, that might work
