We need to add more segments to border of our object to keep shape after smoothing. Here I preferred to add moreedges with Chamfer tool.

Step 5:

But we need sharper edges at all corners. So select one edge of each corner and then hit Loop button. Now all corneredges are selected. Again use the Chamfer tool with same settings to add extra edges.

I know you are just as excitedto know how many people bookmarked yourwebsite, it somehow reflects the number ofpeople who considers your website insightfuland worth reading back again!

Step 38:

In the VRayLightMtl parameters, click on Color button and choose Gradient map from Material/Map browser. You donot need change anything in here. In the VRayLightMtl parameters make sure "Emit light on back side" is checked.

Now apply this material to the planes we created behind lights.
