Neo Tokyo Neon Sign

This neon sign was made as a hero prop for my Neo Tokyo challenge. Comprised of three different materials for flexibility in Unreal for Light flickering and color variation. It should read "Beef Pork" in Japanese according to Google translate. Check my blog for more content.

The neon had to loop around to properly align with the text. It adds a nice effect for enhanced realism.

For the texturing process, only half of the asset was textured to optimize UV space. Three materials were created to provide flexibility in Unreal Engine.

UV layout and texture set: The neon was split up to allow color and other parameter adjustments in Unreal Engine. These textures can be very small or even disregarded, depending on the constraints.
