For this week, the laser is done! I learned how to have better lighting in UE5 and added a dynamic material to make the glass on the laser pulsate with emissive light. I am still having issues with sequencer. The video preview is fine, however the rendered video gets stuck on a frame at the beginning. Looking back, I would fix a lot of places on the high res mesh where the bake didn't turn out well and do a better job painting the patina and copper shading.
