Hybrid Cell Shading

Style: Hybrid (Cell + BSDF)

A story of love, loss, and fate, Time Loop Cafe follows former detective Rio as he reunites with his mute ex-wife, Aya, in a quiet café for a heartfelt conversation. But their meeting turns into a nightmare when a sudden explosion traps them in a relentless time loop.

Behind the scenes

This project focused on two challenges: bringing the song's story to life with cinematic pacing and creating a distinct visual style. We used a hybrid shading system—combining BSDF and cell shading—to blend anime-style characters with a stylized, surreal environment.
