Daruma-Puppe 3D-Modell

High quality 3D model of a Japanese Daruma doll. The Daruma doll is a lucky charm based on Bodhidharma (also known as Dharma), a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th to 6th century AD, likely in China. As very little is known of Bodhidarma's actual life, much of his biography became layered with legend. As for his straightforward and purposeful lifestyle, he became the guardian of goals and aspirations, and a Daruma doll serves as a talisman of good luck. Legend claims that Bodhidarma had a rigid discipline. He sat in meditation for a period of nine years without moving, which caused his legs and arms to fall off, and also that falling asleep during this meditation made him so angry with himself that he cut off his eyelids to avoid ever falling asleep again (this must have happened before his limbs had fallen off). These are the reasons why the Daruma doll has such big eyes and legs and arms are missing completely. When purchased, the figure's eyes are both blank white. A user will then select a goal or wish and paint in one of the figure's two eyes. Once the desired goal is achieved, the second eye is filled in. Therefore this Daruma doll 3D model comes with 3 texture variants to choose from: with blank eyes, with one eye filled in and with both eyes filled in. Furthermore there are displacement, glossiness and normal maps included. The textures have a resolution of 2048x2048 pixels.
