Does the entire bulb have to be self shadowing? I assume that you only need
the light to go through the frosted-glass part, and that the frosted-glass
part doesn't have to cast any shadows. If this is the case, just make that
specific part of the bulb "no_shadow" with a high ambient. This will make
it glow and be opaque but allow light to pass through it. Alternatively, if
you use megapov, you can turn on double-illuminate and use diffuse instead
of ambient. If you don't put "no_shadow" in the other parts of the bulb,
then they will cast shadows. I would assume that, because the frosted-glass
is acting as a source of illumination, it would be so bright as to make any
self-shadowing hardly visible.
