The foil hat is a visual joke that everyone recognizes, and it works because of the material: crumpled aluminium catching light in a hundred directions, folded into a cone with an uneven brim. The irregularity is the whole effect - a smooth metallic cone reads as a party hat.
The mesh is minimal at 2,702 polygons and 2,791 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, and ships with 7 texture maps at 1024x1024 carrying the creased foil surface.
At $19 and built to StemCell specification, it suits editorial and satirical illustration, motion graphics and social content, advertising with a comic register, character props for games and film, and print. On sale since 2020.
