Caroline 54" Wide 8-Light Chandelier - Brushed Gold (Blender 3D Model)
General Design:A modern, elegant 8-light chandelier with a wide, airy structure. It features a brushed gold metallic finish that enhances the minimalist but luxurious aesthetic. The overall width is approximately 54 inches.
Structure:
Central Hub:Cylindrical or spherical centerpiece in brushed gold, acting as the connection point for the arms.
Arms:Eight slender, horizontal rods radiate symmetrically from the hub. Each arm is sleek, straight, and capped with a socket for a bulb at the end. Some designs may stagger the arms slightly vertically for more dynamism.
Bulb Holders:Each arm ends in a simple, minimalistic bulb holder, maintaining the streamlined design. Holders should subtly flare or taper out to cradle the bulbs.
Bulbs:Exposed bulbs, preferably modeled as soft-edged cylinders with a slight glow material if you're adding an emission shader. Commonly a clear or frosted finish (Edison-style bulbs often preferred for realism).
Canopy and Suspension:The chandelier is attached to a brushed gold ceiling canopy via a matching rod or chain. Suspension rod may be segmented or adjustable.
Materials and Textures:
Brushed Gold Finish: Use a slightly rough metallic shader with soft anisotropic reflections to mimic the brushing texture of the metal.
Glass Bulbs: Transparent shader with some gloss and subtle refraction, or use an emission shader if you're creating a lit version.
Optional Details: Light patina on edges for realism, slight variation in roughness maps.
Dimensions:
Width: ~54 inches (approx. 137 cm)
Height: Depending on rod length, but typically proportionally balanced (~24-36 inches vertical body + rod).

Bevel Modifier on rods for realistic light catching edges.
Anisotropic Shader for brushed metal.
Emission Shader for bulbs (low strength for photorealism).
