ASU1 - Weekly Update: Dat Copper Texture

This week I created a light asset for the level. Means this scene is based within the later part of the Victorian period, I can create gas lighting - which is handy as this would means there's a reason for artificial light within the level. Though most gas lighting within the period, the lights were facing upwards, I did find some that faced down. The reason I wanted to find a light that faces down is that light would be facing the floor. Ideally, I would have liked to have the lights facing down but I have yet to figure out how to do glass within UE4. I was told about the Fresnel node within UE4, I tried to use it, however to no avail.

UE4 documents I looked at for the Fresnel node: Using Fresnel in your Materials

Also done some research on Victorian household and I found these two articles of interest:

Sketchfab link to the light model: Light

The light model was fully modeled (high and low poly), baked and textured this week. I am really happy with how the copper texture look on this light. The base copper texture is the copper texture I created within Substance Designer a few weeks ago. This made the texturing process quicker.

Spice Boxes: 

Also textured the spice boxes - not happy with the painted metal textures. 

Also done some tests on the Wall textures within UE4 to see which maps would look better and to use with vertex colour:
