Want to see how this 3.7M+ views SpongeBob Mixed Reality concept was created? 🍍🫧
This project is available inside our Project Files, where you can explore the full workflow and download the actual working files - including Cinema 4D scenes, After Effects setups, assets, and shot breakdowns.
We combined AI, CGI, and compositing to turn Bikini Bottom into a surreal city integrated into real footage.

Why learn with WHY.CIRCLE?
@sparkoflagos shared his feedback after watching our “AI + CGI in One Pipeline” tutorial ✨
Inside:
9 lessons, 3 workflows - from idea to final visual.
What you’ll learn:
✓ How to develop stronger brand ideas
✓ How to write prompts that stay consistent
✓ How to build AI environments & integrate CGI
✓ How to combine AI + real footage seamlessly

Stop fixing weak shots in production.
If your frame doesn’t work on paper, it won’t magically work in 3D, AI, or comp.
Strong visuals start before production:
storyboard, composition, camera angles, pacing, art direction.
Every shot needs a reason.
Every frame needs intention.
That’s how you make work that feels cinematic, consistent, and expensive.
Inside our upcoming workshop, we’ll break down how we build workflows through planning, art direction, and visual storytelling.

How @gentlemonster was made 👀
Gentle Monster’s robotic head installations and the aesthetic of their BOLD collection became the starting point behind this idea.
We reimagined that direction through CGI and built a Tilda Swinton-inspired installation in Mixed Reality.
And inside WHY.CIRCLE, you can actually go behind the scenes of projects like this:
✦ explore real project files
✦ break down creative decisions
✦ understand how scenes are built
✦ see the workflow from idea to final result

How to remove the plastic look from AI skin?
Step 1 - Texture focus: add pores, peach fuzz, pigmentation, under-eye texture.
Step 2 - Prompt the emotion.
Describe the moment, not just the pose.
Step 3 - Use Enhancor tool
It restores realistic skin texture and brings back natural micro-details.
That’s what makes AI portraits feel human.

How we integrated AI into our CGI workflow?
For our Formula 1 × MSC Cruises mixed media concept, we combined two tools: AI + CGI. AI helped us move faster with environments, atmosphere, and iterations.
But when accuracy mattered, we rebuilt the F1 car in CGI to match real-world proportions and technical details.
That’s the balance we use in our workflow: AI for speed. CGI for precision.
We created a tutorial with 9 lessons breaking down how to combine AI + CGI into one workflow - from idea to final execution.

@why.circle is launching an art direction workshop for AI workflows.
Not about tools – about building a system behind them. Brand thinking, clear direction, and intentional execution at every step.
That’s what turns AI outputs into high-end visuals and content that actually performs.
Coming soon.
If you’re a 3D artist - you feel it.
AI is moving fast, but results are often inconsistent.
We’ve built a pipeline that works - AI + CGI in one system, used across 100+ brand projects.
Inside:
9 lessons, 3 workflows – from idea to final What you’ll learn
✓ How to develop strong brand ideas
✓ How to write prompts that stay consistent
✓ How to build AI environments & integrate CGI
✓ How to combine AI + real footage seamlessly Who it’s for
• Intermediate 3D artists ready to adapt and level up
• AI artists who want sharper, more consistent results
• Creatives who want real studio insight

AI is moving fast.. most artists still struggle to control it.
We built a system that works in real production:
AI + CGI INSIDE ONE PIPELINE
✦ What’s inside:
• 9 structured video lessons
• 3 different workflows
✦ What you’ll learn:
• generate strong ideas for brands
• control AI outputs
• build AI environments + integrate CGI
• move from idea → final result
✦ Who it’s for:
• intermediate 3D artists
• AI artists who want better results
• creatives exploring AI + CGI workflow
Not theory: real workflows we use in client work.
