Glossy stylized 3D characters with soft cinematic light.
Sent with your prompt
Animated feature film 3D look: stylized characters with exaggerated proportions, big expressive eyes and appealing shapes, rendered with soft skin, detailed fabric and hair. Warm cinematic lighting with soft volumetric light, bounce light and shallow depth of field, and rich, saturated color grading, like a still from a modern computer-animated movie.

How do you make images in a 3D animated film look?
Describe your own character and scene, then name the cues of the look: rounded shapes, big expressive eyes, soft key light with a warm rim, saturated family-movie color and smooth 3D materials. Nano Banana 2.1 is the default model, and you can pick any other. You can start for free.
What makes the look
Shape, eyes, light, color and finish
Name these cues in your prompt, or attach an image of your own character as a reference.
Shapes
Round, soft shapes and a clear silhouette. Heads are large for the body.
Eyes
Big, glossy eyes that carry one clear feeling: raised brows, a sideways glance, a wide grin.
Light
A soft key light with a warm rim around the figure, often at golden hour or by lamplight.
Color
Saturated, warm family-movie color with a few strong accents against calm backgrounds.
Finish
Smooth 3D surfaces with soft materials, gentle shadows and a shallow depth of field.

How it works
Invent your character
Give them one shape, one main color and one thing people will remember, such as a tie or a hat. Round shapes and big eyes carry the look.
Ask for the 3D finish
Name smooth materials, soft shadows and a shallow depth of field, so the figure reads as a rendered model instead of a drawing.
Tell the next scene
Attach your best image of the character as a reference in each new scene, so the face, clothes and colors carry over.
Questions about the 3D animated film look
Create your own characters instead. The terms of service do not allow using Batch Banana to infringe anyone's intellectual property. The page describes a general look that you can apply to your own characters.
Ask for hand-painted 2D with gouache texture, or use the Hand-drawn anime film style for watercolor skies and soft cel shading.
Attach your best image of the character as a reference and repeat its key features in each prompt, such as colors, clothes and one prop.

Yes. Attach it as a reference image and name the style. The face can change a little from run to run, so run a few and keep the closest.
