Lamp

Lamp

The next asset that I wanted to create for the scene was the lamp that would be situated on the desk in the corner. I wanted to make this next as it would allow me to finalise the lighting in the room for the assets that are in it so far. I found a good set of references for a lamp design from that period and so used that to base my model on. To make this asset I knew that I had to use 2 separate UV maps as I would be making glass for the bulb and the lamp. I decided that I was going to make the lamp in x2048 and the glass in x1024. The lamp should be no more than 2,000 Tris.

Process

I modelled out both the glass and the metal lamp together as different objects and materials. Once the maps were baked out for the metal lamp I textured everything in Substance Painter. To make the glass I create the albedo and the roughness in substance but created the glass material in UE4. Once this was in place in the scene I could get to work on fixing the lighting by making it darker and making this lamp and the light at the top of the stairs the 2 main light sources.
