The visual language
What is Pixar-style 3D?
Rounded structure and moderately exaggerated proportions make expressions and gestures easy to read. Soft global illumination, fine materials and warm vivid color give animated forms believable depth.
Feature-animation 3D combines expressive proportions with coherent physical behavior.
Large eyes and round cheeks can coexist with a collar resting on shoulders and fingers gripping a cup.
