We recently took a look at how to animate like Lemmino where we covered the 2D aspect of it. This time we will be tackling the 3D aspect of it. The style is super similar to Imperial, Neo, and Fern to name a few. It's all heavily reliant on good narratio/story but also really well composed 3D scenes. The most important parts of it are lighting, models, environment, and camera movement.
