Disney’s latest CG Film ‘Tangled’, based on the story of Rapunzel, comes to theaters in November and is Disney’s latest attempt at merging their huge assets in hand-drawn animation with CG animation, this time using non-photorealistic rendering techniques.
Previous director Glen Keane developed a new look for this computer animated film, which is said to look and feel more like a traditional hand-drawn Disney Classic, but in 3D. Apparently the film uses a non-photorealistic rendering technique which will make the surface look like it is painted but still containing depth and dimensions. The movie’s visual style is being based on French Rococo artist Jean-Honore Fragonard’s painting “The Swing”.
A new featurette on on YouTube shows some of the concept art and how they translated it into the CG models.
