What was it made for?

This rifle was created for a project in college, where I had to work in a team to create a short VR game/experience. My team decided to create a ghost train experience. I was tasked with creating some environment props for this project, one of which being this lantern.

Inspiration and Research

This asset was created for a section of the ghost train which had a deserted a mine theme, therefore I began to look up old mineshafts, researching objects that could be found in these mineshafts. To create the correct atmosphere within this section of the ghost train, the lighting had to be realistic, hence why I created this generic oil lamp. When texturing this model, I kept in mind that the experience was a horror ghost train, therefore added plenty of dents, dirt and rust to make the lamp look old and worn; if the lamp look brand new it would look completely out of place.
