Looking at one of the big new trends in animation.
If you’ve seen Into the Spider-Verse, The Mitchells vs The Machines, Luca and a wave of other animated features lately, then you already know that ‘stylization’ in animation is becoming more of a mainstream thing. But what does ‘stylization’ mean here, exactly?
To help answer that question, I’m joined by Lollipop Shaders’ Christos Obretenov to discuss the explosion of stylized rendering in animation. Lollipop Shaders happens to be one of the companies helping some big and small studios with stylized rendering, sometimes also called NPR rendering.
