## The Sandbox Art Style

In The Sandbox, 3D minimalism is best for high performance, allowing for more art and logic to be added to an Experience.

2D pixel art techniques are used to add simple to stunning detail on every surface so that even with a less complex 3D shape, an asset can appear to have more depth and complexity.
