Watch: The round character squashes flat when it lands and stretches when it bounces, with soft, full light and shade. Exaggerated squash and stretch is the hallmark of stylized 3D animation.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Stylized 3D animation, rounded character design with large eyes, soft global illumination and subsurface scattering, bright colors. A round little penguin slides down an icy slope, squashes flat on landing and bounces back up, shakes the snow off and happily flaps its flippers. 5 seconds, squash and stretch exaggerated but never breaking the model, no realistic fur.

Common pitfalls

It falls into the uncanny valley, half realistic and half cartoon.
Materials that look like plastic.
Hair and cloth simulation breaks down.

Parameter tips

Spell out cartoon proportions and non-realistic; don't ask for realistic skin in the same prompt.
