Supports may be necessary for overhangs, especially around the intricate wave elements and the inner openings. The model is also game-ready, with clean topology and a suitable polygon count for integration into game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine. Its metallic texture can be further enhanced with PBR materials in rendering applications for AR/VR experiences or high-quality visualizations.
