A jack-o'-lantern hero sword for your Halloween event, scarecrow boss or seasonal skin. A carved grinning pumpkin set in a guard of thorny green vines, a blade of molten orange fire wrapped in thorn vines, a vine-wrapped grip and an amber pommel gem — game-ready, with an animated glow material and a showcase scene you can open and render straight away.

• Animated glow, no extra setup — the emissive pulses, the pumpkin's carved face flickers like a candle, and molten fire flows inside the blade between the vines.

• One material instance to tweak — Tint, Roughness Scale, Emissive Intensity, Energy Amount and Animation Speed.

• Ready-made showcase map — backdrop, mist, sparks, key / fill / rim lights and a portrait camera (1080 × 1920).

• Drop-in Blueprint — BP_LanternSword with the mesh and a small glow light. Pivot at the centre of the grip.

• Source files included — FBX, 4K PNG textures and a Blender scene.

• Triangles: 13,102 (LOD0) · 6,550 · 3,276 · 1,572 — 4 LODs

• Size: 111.2 cm long, 24.5 cm wide (scaled to the UE mannequin)

• Textures: 4096 × 4096 — Base Color, Normal (DirectX), ORM (AO / Roughness / Metallic), Emissive · 2048 × 2048 energy mask

• Materials: 1 master material + 1 material instance (PBR metallic / roughness)

• UVs: channel 0 unique, non-overlapping · channel 1 hand-packed lightmap UVs (resolution 128)

• Collision: simple (26-DOP) + per-poly complex

• Nanite: off (regular LODs) · Rigged / animated: no (static mesh)

• Engine: Unreal Engine 5.6 · Tested on: Windows

• Unreal Engine 5.6 project — SM_LanternSword, M_LanternSword, MI_LanternSword, BP_LanternSword, textures, L_LanternSword_Showcase and L_LanternSword_Demo maps

• FBX — SM_LanternSword.fbx (centimetres, two UV channels)

• Textures — PNG, ready for any engine or renderer

• Blender — LanternSword.blend with the material already wired to the textures

• The showcase map uses a flat (non-filmic) look: the project sets ShowFlag.Tonemapper=0 in DefaultEngine.ini. Remove that line if you prefer Unreal's default tonemapper — the sword works with either.

• Mist and sparks in the showcase map are meshes with animated materials, not Niagara systems.

• The Blueprint contains components only (no gameplay logic), so it drops into any weapon system.

• The glow uses a Custom (HLSL) node in the master material.

• The low-poly is mostly triangles (silhouette-safe decimation).
