Pixar Style AI Prompt — 3D Cartoon Avatar from Photo

“Transform this photo into a Pixar-style 3D animated character. The character should have: slightly exaggerated proportions (larger head-to-body ratio, about 1:4), big expressive eyes with detailed iris reflections, a warm friendly smile showing slight dimples, and smooth stylized skin with subtle subsurface scattering. Hair should be rendered as thick, sculpted strands with natural movement and shine — not individual strands but chunky, animated-style hair masses. Clothing should match the original photo but rendered in the Pixar aesthetic: slightly simplified fabric folds, vibrant saturated colors, and a clean matte-to-satin material finish. The character stands in a 3/4 pose with one hand on hip, looking at the camera with a confident expression. Background: a soft gradient from warm peach (#FFE5CC) to light sky blue (#CCE5FF), with subtle bokeh circles. Lighting: classic Pixar three-point setup — warm key light from upper right, cool fill from left, and a rim light creating a subtle glow around the hair. Render quality: Pixar feature film, 4K.”
