Before/After Prop
-So after much help from Michael Fahel, a fellow student, I managed to bump up the spec and reflection immensely and now it finally looks so much closer to a copper texture. The left side is the brand new material, and the right is when it gets scorched. I still think the scorch texture is too dark so I will go back and lighten (or add more lights in the scene). I am very happy with the progress though. It is starting to look much better especially from the original.
