## About this style

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.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Moderately exaggerated features make expression and pose readable within softly shaded volume.

- **Landscape**: Rounded architecture and plants form warmly lit animated settings with clear materials.

- **Object**: Simplified but substantial objects gain approachable color and soft lighting.

**Subjects**: Choose expressive people, pets, everyday settings or rounded objects with clear gestures and focal points.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Use the three-dimensional design language of an animated feature, expressing the subject through rounded, supple, clearly structured forms. Moderately exaggerate proportions and keep details refined and deliberately distilled. Shape convincing volume with soft global illumination, warm vivid colors, natural contact shadows, and delicate materials. Translucent areas may show subtle subsurface scattering. Keep the result friendly and lively while maintaining recognizability through the subject's own structure.
