In our physically based shader, we have a lot of control over metalness and smoothness, and I'll use that metal to really get the pipes looking right. This is a kit of part of pipes here, and I'm in the Meshes directory in Assets looking at them. The idea is we're going to use these and assemble, well, pipes in our factory, that these networks of pipes will be on the wall and occasionally barring the player. We'll see props like this a lot where we've got a modular kit of parts to assemble almost anything we need, ranging from railings, to pipe assemblies, to visually permeable barriers in our game.
