Animation Video Styles
8 AI animation styles. Each one is a tuned recipe — click a style to see an example and start creating.
Animated video in a range of styles — 2D, 3D, illustrated, and motion-graphic. The Animation styles are ideal for explainers, brand mascots, whimsical stories, and anything where a stylized look beats live action.
Describe what you want animated and Wavemaker designs the characters and world, keeps them consistent, and animates the scenes in your chosen style.
-
Animation Animation in ANY style where the look is a parameter, not a fixed treatment — flat 2D / cel cartoons (Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, South Park, adult-swim, Saturday-morning), or a general 'animated <thing>' request with no other specific medium treatment fitting. The default for animation when the user names a 2D/cartoon style or doesn't pin a CG-render look. (Reach for a more specific treatment ONLY when the user clearly wants exactly that medium: animation_3d for Pixar/CGI, anime, claymation, stop_motion, pixel_art, paper_cutout, comic_book, animated_explainer for flat-vector concept explainers.) -
3D Animation An EXPLICITLY 3D / CGI-rendered animation (Pixar/DreamWorks-style or game-cinematic render) — the user specifically asked for a dimensional 3D render. NOT for flat 2D, cel, or generic cartoon styles (those use `animated`), and NOT photorealism. -
Anime A Japanese anime / manga animation-style video (cel-shaded, expressive, dynamic). -
Claymation A claymation / modeling-clay stop-motion video (squidgy, tactile, handcrafted). -
Comic Book A comic-book / graphic-novel-style video (ink outlines, halftone, speech bubbles). -
Paper Cutout A layered construction-paper cut-out collage animation (Gilliam-style, flat 2D). -
Pixel Art A retro 8-bit / 16-bit pixel-art video-game-style video (chiptune energy). -
Stop Motion A physical-puppet stop-motion video (frame-by-frame, miniature sets, tangible).
