A haunted-manor hero sword for your Halloween event, ghost-house boss or seasonal skin. A blade made of a melting wax candle with glowing lava inside and a lit wick at the tip, a brass candelabra guard with two more candles and a skull with fire eyes, a red wrapped grip and a brass pommel with a dripping ember — 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 lava inside the wax and the skull's fire eyes pulse, and warm light drifts along the blade.

• 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_CandleSword 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: 12,342 (LOD0) · 6,170 · 3,086 · 1,482 — 4 LODs

• Size: 114.9 cm long, 25.3 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_CandleSword, M_CandleSword, MI_CandleSword, BP_CandleSword, textures, L_CandleSword_Showcase and L_CandleSword_Demo maps

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

• Textures — PNG, ready for any engine or renderer

• Blender — CandleSword.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).
