The Santa Claus character is designed with a modern, minimalist cartoon style. He has a plump, rounded body, giving him a cuddly and non-intimidating appearance. His face is expressive and friendly, featuring large, round black eyes, rosy cheeks, and a small, pink nose. His signature white beard is thick, fluffy, and perfectly sculpted, cascading down his chest. He wears the traditional red Santa hat with a white trim and a soft, white pom-pom at the tip. His outfit consists of a bright red coat with white fur trim on the collar, cuffs, and hem, paired with matching red pants and sturdy brown boots. A wide, brown belt with a large, golden buckle cinches his waist, completing the classic look. His hands are gloved in red, and he stands in a relaxed, welcoming pose, ready to spread holiday cheer.

The background environment enhances the festive atmosphere without distracting from the main character. It is a dark, starry night sky, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Delicate, white snowflakes of various sizes gently fall around Santa, adding a touch of winter magic to the scene. Strings of warm, glowing fairy lights crisscross the background, casting soft, colorful bokeh effects that add a cozy, celebratory glow. The lighting is carefully balanced, with a key light illuminating Santa from the front, highlighting the textures of his suit and the contours of his face, while the ambient light from the fairy lights adds depth and warmth to the overall composition.

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
