Chibi Style

Big head. Short body. Maximum appeal silhouette.

Ratios

Head often 1/2 to 1/3 of total height. Simplify fingers. Large eyes optional by genre.

Recipe

Target a cute 1:2 to 1:3 head-to-body character, 2-band soft toon shading with a thin outline, framed close on a square or portrait crop.

1. Proportions are modeled, not scripted: head 1/2 to 1/3 of total height, short limbs, simplified hands.
2. Shading: toon_material.py with bands 2, rim 0.3, outline 0.012 (thinner outline keeps small features readable).
3. Lighting: light_rig.py preset overcast for soft, shadow-light appeal.
4. Camera: camera_rig.py lens_mm 85, elevation_deg 5, fill 0.85, aspect "1:1" (flattering, low distortion).
5. Render and finish: render_preset.py stylized_flat, then comp_grade.py stylized_bloom.
