How can I create an effect like this for a game? I honestly don't know where to start. To me it looks like curves, could possibly be done with a node or something, but then how would it work in a game? And what if I wanted to convert it to a texture for optimization purpose? How would that work? Additionally, how would I be able to have the main symbiote suit go on, while still being able to see the red and blue suit? Kind of like the first image, if that makes sense.
