DESCRIPTION

Exquisite 3D model of a highly detailed, ornate koi fish sculpture crafted in rich golden wood, blending traditional Eastern artistry with surreal, flowing design. The fish is depicted in mid-swim, its body elegantly curved and adorned with intricate scales that shimmer with natural wood grain textures. The most striking feature is its dramatically stylized tail and fins, which transform into swirling, wave-like patterns resembling calligraphy or clouds—symbolizing movement, harmony, and the flow of water in Feng Shui philosophy. These dynamic flourishes create a sense of motion and grace, as if the fish is gliding through an invisible current.

The sculpture rests on a dark, rough-hewn stone base that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, polished finish of the wood, grounding the piece in nature while elevating its artistic presence. The warm golden tones of the wood are enhanced by soft lighting, highlighting the depth of the carvings and the fine craftsmanship. This piece embodies the spirit of Japanese and Chinese artistic traditions, where koi represent perseverance, good fortune, and transformation—making it ideal for use in interior design, spiritual spaces, garden décor, or as a cultural symbol in digital storytelling.

The 3D model includes high-resolution PBR materials—albedo, roughness, metallic, normal, and ambient occlusion maps—for photorealistic rendering in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, or Unity. It features clean topology, optimized geometry, and precise UV mapping for seamless texturing and animation. Perfect for artists, designers, architects, and developers working on projects inspired by nature, mythology, or Eastern aesthetics. Whether used as a decorative asset, concept art, or part of a larger environmental scene, this koi sculpture brings a touch of elegance, serenity, and cultural richness.

If you're seeking custom 3D modeling, character design, or sculptural work tailored to your vision—I offer professional collaboration and individual fulfillment of any design order. I specialize in creating unique digital assets that merge traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, from symbolic animals to abstract forms. Whether you need a single piece or a full project, I bring ideas to life with precision, creativity, and attention to detail. Please write to me to discuss your concept, timeline, and technical requirements. Let’s create something extraordinary together.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.

Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
