>>89365>>89366that it's a 3d model is pretty clear in this example from how the hands and hair move relative to the body and their shading, it has that perfectly smooth yet rigid flow typical of basic 3d animation
>>89367>I suspect 3D model with "2D face" is how 99% of anime has been made the last decade so I think so.perhaps at the level of preliminary modeling, but it doesn't mesh with the WIP production material that animators share on social media and that look nothing like the op, nor with the very static poses that dominate simpler scenes
