actively used anvil Low-poly 3D model

Most models of anvils you find are pristine, spotless anvils, but that's not what they look like when they're in action. A skilled blacksmith will meticulously clean its anvil after a long day's work, but during the heat of forging, an anvil is often far from immaculate, especially if the blacksmith is tackling a challenging forge weld. This model is based on a 3D scan of a real anvil. For maximum realism, the scan was taken while the blacksmith was actively working. The white paste visible on the anvil and running down its sides is borax, a white powder that plays a crucial role in making a strong forge weld and helps to remove scale. The original scan boasted a high poly count, but through careful re-topology and baking, the poly count has been significantly reduced without sacrificing any quality. This model now boasts a low poly count, making it ideal for real-time rendering and gaming applications.
