DESCRIPTION

The Guardian of Shadows is a darkly ornate 3D sculpture that embodies the essence of gothic horror and fantasy craftsmanship. Forged in intricate detail, this winged demon wall ornament exudes both elegance and menace, blending baroque artistry with infernal power. The design features an imposing demonic visage with glowing red gemstone eyes, surrounded by elaborate ornamental scrollwork and bat-like wings that stretch outward like the guardians of an ancient cathedral.

Every inch of this model has been sculpted with precision—showcasing engraved metallic textures, subtle oxidation, and aged patina that give it the appearance of a timeless relic. The PBR materials bring out the contrast between polished silver tones and the deep shadows within the carved details, creating dramatic depth and realism. The back and side geometry are perfectly formed for mounting on walls or architectural structures, making it ideal for interior decoration, digital diorama, or gothic environment design.

This asset is optimized for real-time rendering in Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, and Maya, yet retains high detail suitable for cinematic rendering and 3D printing. The Guardian of Shadows works beautifully in fantasy games, horror scenes, medieval ruins, vampire lairs, or dark cathedral environments—anywhere atmosphere and mythology converge.

With its combination of fearsome design and ornamental beauty, this model serves as both a symbol of protection and a harbinger of darkness. It’s a piece that feels alive with history, as though it has watched over forgotten halls for centuries.

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

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.

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.
