Lantern free 3D model & sprite sheet

An iron-framed glass lantern with a pyramid roof and a ring handle on top. Inside, a small flame burns and shows through every pane. The Flicker clip loops over six frames, and the sprites are rendered at 48 pixels from eight sides, so a character can carry it in any direction.

The flame is made of crossed flame cards with glow materials and colour ramps, which lets it be seen from any angle through the glass. A shape-key flicker loop moves it, and the glass panes sit round it so the warm light reads clearly behind the dark iron frame.

The origin is the handle ring, exactly where a hand holds it, so it hangs naturally from a hand bone. Lanterns suit exploration and horror games, mines, night villages and any level lit by the player. Render it alone and it also works as a lamp on a hook or a table.

For a cold, ghostly light, change the Fire and Fire core materials to blue or green. Carry it through a cave, set it beside the wall torch for two kinds of light, or place it near the small house’s lit windows for a night scene.
