A turned-wood Christmas nutcracker with a round ball head with big wide-set eyes, like the old German folk nutcrackers: a green and gold crown set with glass emeralds and rubies, white fur hair and beard, gold bullion epaulettes, a red and green tunic with painted gold motifs, holding a sword upright, on a square plinth.

Built like the real object: every part is a lathe-turned wooden piece with fine grain that follows the turning, glazed paint that lets the wood show through, gilt paint with light edge wear, hand-painted face and ornaments, and a working jaw on a pin with the lever at the back (the jaw pivots at the pin). Hair, beard and fur trims are real strand geometry, not alpha cards. 4K PBR textures on the Body, Face and Gilt sets (about 0.1 mm per pixel).

- Real-world size: 12 x 9.4 x 37.6 cm (L x W x H), Z up, origin on the ground.
- PBR metal/rough textures: Base Color, Roughness, Metallic, Normal (OpenGL and DirectX). Materials: Body (4K), Emerald, Face (4K), Fur, Gilt (4K), Ruby.
- Built piece by piece: 27 objects with consistent names, no floating parts.
- Hair, beard and fur are double-sided strand ribbons: keep backface culling off.
- Native Blender scene plus a 3ds Max 2022 scene with Physical Materials.

Geometry: 427,894 triangles, 350,591 vertices.
