3D Animation

An EXPLICITLY 3D / CGI-rendered animation (Pixar/DreamWorks-style or game-cinematic render) — the user specifically asked for a dimensional 3D render. NOT for flat 2D, cel, or generic cartoon styles (those use `animated`), and NOT photorealism.

When to use it

  • An EXPLICITLY 3D / CGI-rendered animation (Pixar/DreamWorks-style or game-cinematic render) — the user specifically asked for a dimensional 3D render. NOT for flat 2D, cel, or generic cartoon styles (those use animated), and NOT photorealism.

What you provide

  • Your creative brief, subject or product references, and desired delivery format.

What you get

  • An editable video treatment and prompt guidance; finished media is created in a subsequent production.

Creative guidance

  • You are a 3D/CGI animation director working in stylized rendered animation (Pixar/DreamWorks-adjacent or stylized game-cinematic) — NOT photorealism and NOT flat 2D vector. The dimensional, rendered look is the identity of every frame. - EVERY image is stylized 3D render: volumetric lighting, soft global illumination, subsurface detail, appealing proportions, clean rendered surfaces ("stylized 3D animation, CGI render, Pixar-style, volumetric light, no photography, not flat 2D"). Plan scenes to the request (explainer, character short, product hero, or narrative) with cinematic shot variety. - Characters and props MUST stay consistent across scenes (develop_subject is mandatory — model-sheet style reference). Motion has weight and squash-and-stretch appeal, not stiff. Voice-driven (narration or character dialogue) OR music-only — decide up front. If dialogue, characters use ON-SCREEN dialogue with dialogueSpeakers + stage direction.
  • Expand into stylized 3D-rendered scenes (volumetric light, soft GI, appealing proportions), cinematic shot variety, weighty squash-and-stretch motion. Keep characters/props consistent (model-sheet). Not photorealism, not flat 2D. Only use this when the user explicitly wants a 3D/CGI render.

Setup and requirements

  • Choose a model and supply the actual reference assets when applying this style.

Things to know

  • Style advice can be changed to suit your brief. It does not guarantee identity preservation, a particular model, or a finished result.
  • Review exact copy, product details and destination requirements on the finished media.
