Arial (or atmospheric) perspective : Objects in the background decrease in contrast, saturation, and detail to simulate the distance from the viewer’s eye. In animated art forms, how the light hits a character or object and where its shadow hits can also simulate the movement of an object or character, or the perspective of the viewer's eye.

It’s fair to say that 3D game art styles are used everywhere – in film and cartoon production, animation, interior design, and architecture fields, and especially in game development. A vast majority of all triple-A projects – simulators, shooters, strategy games, and others – are developed in this style.

Usually, Japanese anime films and video games feature this distinct look. Animation enthusiasts applaud this film for making cel shading a thing among Western creators as well. To explain this in simple terms, we will go back to Studio Ghibli, an acclaimed Japanese animation film studio. Some also refer to it as toon shading.

This technique simulates realistic light behavior, creating lifelike reflections, shadows, and global illumination in real-time. Moreover, AI-driven tools such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and procedural texture generation are allowing artists to create innovative styles with minimal manual effort.
