Concept & Inspiration
I envisioned a warrior embodying both tactical precision and supernatural energy—a lone figure wrapped in a flowing cloak, armed with a weapon that radiates a mysterious force. The combination of futuristic elements with fantasy aesthetics gave this design its unique edge.
Modeling the Soldier in Curvy 3D
Curvy 3D’s intuitive sketch-based modeling made it easy to craft the silhouette of the soldier.
1. Base Mesh: I started with basic shapes, sketching curves to define the torso, arms, and legs.
2. Armor & Details: Using soft move tools, I refined the armor plates, straps, and other mechanical components.
3. Cloak: The flowing fabric effect was achieved using Curvy’s smoothing and deformation tools, ensuring a natural drape.

Weapon Design & Mystical Glow
A sci-fi soldier isn’t complete without a formidable weapon, and this piece was key to the character’s presence.
- The automatic rifle was sculpted with bold edges and intricate detailing, ensuring a sleek but powerful look.
- To achieve the mystic blue fire, I used Curvy 3D’s Image Inflate tool, which allowed me to create glowing effects directly onto the surface.
- Subtle particle effects helped enhance the supernatural aura around the weapon.
Textures & Lighting
Curvy 3D makes painting in 3D seamless:
- I used lightmaps and specular textures to give the armor a metallic sheen.
- The cloak was textured with deep green hues and subtle weathering for realism.
- The mystic flames were amplified with emissive lighting effects, enhancing their glow.
Final Rendering & Exporting
Once satisfied with the sculpt and textures, I adjusted the lighting to highlight the glowing elements and pose the character dynamically. Exporting the model to Blender allowed for advanced rendering, refining the visual impact.
