About this preset

The 3D feature look is stylised computer animation with cinematic finish: soft global illumination, subsurface scattering on skin, big expressive eyes and exaggerated proportions that keep every character clearly a cartoon. The motion vocabulary is filmic, slow dollies and pushes, shallow depth of field and small acting beats like a gasp, a glance or a breath fogging in cool air. The palette is moody and cinematic, dusk teals against warm practical light, and the pacing is unhurried so emotion has room. It suits emotional brand films, character pitches and stories that want the scale of a feature. Avoid uncanny photoreal skin and any real studio's house style; describe the look and let the characters be your own.

Use cases

  • Emotional brand films and holiday spots
  • Character and world pitches for features
  • Cinematic story moments for social
  • Trailer style teasers without lettering

  • Firefly landing on a cupped hand at dusk, stylised 3D feature look with soft lighting

    A stylised 3D feature animation scene. THE CHARACTERS: Wren, a small girl with a mop of copper curls, oversized round glasses and a bright yellow raincoat, and Pip, a tiny firefly with a soft blue glow and oversized eyes. THE MOMENT: at dusk on a rainy rooftop garden, Wren holds out a cupped hand; Pip lands on her palm and lights up, and she gasps and laughs as her breath fogs in the cool air. THE STYLE: stylised 3D character animation with soft global illumination, subsurface scattering on skin, big expressive eyes, exaggerated proportions, shallow depth of field and wet surfaces catching the glow; stylised, never photoreal skin, a look described on its own terms and not any studio's style. THE PALETTE: teal dusk with warm amber window light and the firefly's blue glow. Camera: slow cinematic dolly in from a medium shot to a close up. Original characters, no lettering on planters or buildings, no logos, no titles or captions anywhere in frame. Sound: room tone plus soft rain on leaves, a distant city hush and a tiny wing buzz.
