Make an abstract sculpture using SDF (signed distance field) modeling techniques
\nLike Blender’s metaballs<\/em> or womp<\/a> (export as obj and import in blender\/unity).<\/p>\n

– Sketch it first and post your sketch along with video and wireframes
\n– Think of it as a sculpture existing in a real space and subject to gravity.
\n– Stay under 30K tris (or triangles) for each of them.
\nYou can enable statistics<\/strong> in overlays <\/strong>to visualize the triangles:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n– Make it watertight, no holes, no self intersecting surface, or visible backfaces.
\n– You may have to convert your objects to meshes and decimate or retopologize them to stay within the triangle budget (duplicate and keep an editable version of the sculpture).
\n– Pay attention to smoothing groups If it’s meant to look smooth, make it look smooth, if it has sharp edges, use the auto normal modifier.<\/p>\n
