Holy smokes (literally)! This is awesome, man. A stellar presentation, love the addition of the fire to heat up the gem and light everything up. Fantastic work with this piece. It was my pleasure to offer assistance/advice wherever needed, thank you tremendously for taking the course and for leaving us a glimpse of your hard work!
Until next time! :D
Thanks so much, that definitely means a lot coming from my instructor! :)
Update: I was able to import the model into Unreal (I'm braaaaaand new to Unreal and its UI); got my base color, RMA, and Normals all plugged in and it looks in Unreal juuuuust like it did in blender/Eevee! Couldn't be more stoked! Now on to the next lesson :))
