DESCRIPTION

The Whisker Sculpture is a minimalist yet expressive piece of art that captures the delicate elegance and quiet strength of animal form through abstraction. Carved with smooth, flowing lines, the sculpture distills the essence of a creature—often feline or small mammal—into a simplified silhouette that emphasizes its most defining feature: the whiskers. These slender extensions, whether suggested through fine engravings, protruding metallic strands, or subtle surface patterns, evoke both sensitivity and alertness, symbolizing the instinctive awareness animals use to navigate their world.

Unlike hyper-detailed sculptures, this piece embraces abstraction, inviting the viewer to focus on form, rhythm, and flow. Its smooth curves and polished surfaces create a harmonious balance, blurring the line between natural representation and modern design. Depending on the angle, the sculpture can appear playful, poised, or mysterious, much like the living creatures it draws inspiration from. The Whisker Sculpture may be fashioned from wood, stone, or metal, with textures ranging from organic roughness to sleek refinement, making it suitable for both naturalistic and contemporary spaces.

Thematically, whiskers symbolize intuition, perception, and unseen awareness—qualities that extend beyond animals and resonate with human imagination. In cultural interpretations, whiskers are a sign of wisdom and survival, a bridge between the visible and invisible. As a work of art, the Whisker Sculpture serves not only as a decorative piece but also as a subtle reminder of the quiet strength found in nature’s smallest details. It embodies restraint, sensitivity, and grace, making it a striking focal point in galleries, homes, or meditative spaces.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.

Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
