"The Gesner" - Oil Lamp - Base Game Version

(Read about and download the original versions of "The Gesner" here - but really, the new one is much better)

I have been working on an updated version of this, my first oil lamp, for quite a long time now.

The game doesn't like glass within glass - not only that if you want it to look right, each layer has two layers... THEN, on top of all this, candle flames just don't seem to behave consistently behind it.

I have had a lot of success with layering candle flame FX on gas lights, I really wanted to do the same with these, for a base game version. But it was not meant to be.

I was able to use the Cats & Dogs pack's lantern flame animation on a base game item, so I settled to use this again.

The "opaque" version uses the same flame, but you can't really see it at all. BUT KNOW THAT IT EXISTS 😂🤣

I improved the globe and oil reservoir, making them smoother. I also played around with a few different versions of glass colour effects, and the final version has a flue/chimney that is not so dark that it looks like one has used very dirty oil (or had the wick up very high for a long time) - but I haven't made it so pale that you can't see it through the globe glass. I just wanted it to look obvious that the flue goes all the way down - how it does in real life.

SO, the transparent version has 15 swatches: 5 globe options, each with a gold, silver, and wood body versions.

The opaque version has 9 swatches: 3 different globe options, each with the three different bodies.

I hope you like them, and use them in a variety of different room settings!!!
