Candle Knight 3D Model ^NEW

Description

👤 Head

An ominous, medieval closed helm features a sharp, cross visor that radiates a dim, warm interior glow. The entire crown of the helmet is buried beneath a massive, vertical mass of dripping, calcified white candles. Dozens of slender wax pillars melt downward, fusing together into a jagged, crown-like cluster that completely shapes the upper silhouette of the head.

🛡️ Body Structure

• Torso: A heavily segmented, midnight-black plate armor chassis built for an imposing gothic warrior. The neck and upper chest are draped in a tattered, frost-dusted fur collar that blends seamlessly into a dense mass of hardened wax stalactites melting from the helm.

• Arms: The limbs are fully encased in overlapping, ribbed fluted pauldrons and vambraces. The heavy plate gauntlets are wrapped tightly around the hilt of a massive sword, with the right forearm and shoulder heavily encrusted by the same dripping wax buildup running down from the weapon.

• Legs: Long, powerful legs are protected by sharply contoured poleyns (knee guards) and heavy plate greaves that end in pointed sollerets (sabatons). The dark metal panels reflect faint highlights, creating a stark contrast against the rough textures of the upper body.

• Back: A long, tattered, and shredded black cape drapes down from the shoulders, ending in uneven, fluid strips that match the melting aesthetic of the wax.

✨ Material and Finish

The entity features a highly contrasting dark and light monochromatic palette. The armor is a cold, satin-finish blackened steel that heavily pools deep shadows in its crevices. This is starkly countered by the matte, rough, and organic texture of the pale, calcified candle wax that heavily encrusts the head, sword, and shoulder.

(Make sure to check if there are any problems with the manifold edges. Most 3D printing apps will have an option to auto-fix them, but it's also preferable to load them in a viewer for additional checks.
There will usually be a few leftover non-printable polygons that generally don't interfere with the main model when removed, although depending on the removal method, it might discard the model's texture in order to fix it.
The model has an extent between -1 and 1; you can customize its size and modify it freely. You can also reduce or increase the polygon count alongside the vertices using any app based on your specific needs. 
The model doesn't contain any pre-baked or built-in support structures, so it will require manual or automated support generating with the help of slicing software in order to print correctly.
The colors may turn out a bit different from the original ones seen in the images, depending on the printer used and how it's printed. 
The polygon count can be a bit more or less than the described amount depending on where it's loaded for viewing and what file will be used for the printer.
The zip contains STL, 3MF, OBJ, DXF, and file formats. 
The 3mf has the most accurate interpretation of the base model and is preferable when printing.)
