OK, I hope this doesn't break too many forum taboos, but rather than make a new topic, I have another, rather unrelated question. I am trying to make a lit light-bulb, one that looks like a featureless piece of light in the shape of the bulb that lights up the scene.
I've tried various combinations materials and lighting in the scene editor, but nothing looks quite how I want. Not by half. Does anyone have any good tips on achieving this kind of effect?

Specifically, can you do this?
It would help awesomely for making trees, but I am not sure how to do it or if it's even possible

There was a good feeling of 'mass' when it was struggling to get on the egg, but it was unfortunately lost when it actually sat on it. Here's an example of what I am saying. As the flour sack hits the ground it goes from being stretched out to squished, as well as other 'aftershocks' that help convey a feeling of weight. The Dance of the Hours from Fantasia is a famous and extreme example of giving a feeling of mass to animation.
Still, a lot better than I could do and I like the lighting, it really felt 'sunny', and the basic idea was humorous.

A stylized elf head with red circle slash might be a nice touch to add to the label.

Yeah, OK. Anyway, I think it narrows too sharply in the model.

Well, I don't know the exact term for it, but area over the pelvis, where you get this kind of  V shape as it descends toward the crotch. Even on woman it doesn't exactly end in a point, and guys even less so.

The tires look a little wonky, but otherwise I mostly like it. Very nice job.

I hope so, because I do like the design in the players avatar.
