Intricate Ancient Fantasy Dagger Forged In 3D

This curious weapon was crafted by Senior Asset Artist Tomasz Baraniecki using Blender, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag. Based on a 2D concept design by Mukhlis Nur, Tomasz skillfully brought Archaic Arcanist to life in 3D, capturing every detail, from mystical engravings to the gemstone at its core.

Take a closer look:

The original Archaic Arcanist was done as a part of Swordtember back in 2021:
