Personalised 3D animated movie family at the window portrait poster — your photo as a 3D cartoon, housewarming gift

The photo of the family that is moving in, turned into a frame from a 3D animated movie: everyone leaning out of the window of their home, under “Welcome to Our Home”. It is a gift about the house and the people who live in it, to hang in the hallway. You only need a photo of them; you see the poster in thirty seconds before you order, and you order a week ahead in Ireland, ten days ahead elsewhere.

No: only the people come from your photo, with their faces, hairstyles and clothes. The setting is the poster’s own — a pale stone window, wooden shutters, a flower box — redrawn for every photo. To keep the background of your photo, the “family portrait” listing is made for that.

In the hallway, like a welcome sign, or in the living room. A4 and 30 × 40 fit a narrow hallway, with an optional frame; 50 × 70 is a real living-room piece, and 70 × 100 comes rolled, to be framed at home.

Your family photo redrawn as a frame from a 3D computer-animated movie: everyone in the photo leans out of the window of a pretty house together, with wooden shutters and a flower box, big shining eyes, round cheeks and warm cinematic light. The faces, hairstyles and clothes are those of the photo; the pose and the setting are those of the poster. The title is written at the top, and you can keep it or change it.

A sharp, well-lit photo where every face is clearly visible, head-on or three-quarter view. A phone photo is enough — JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 25 MB. The closer it is taken, the better the likeness: a photo taken from a distance gives tiny faces. The background of your photo does not matter, it is not kept. With three tries per photo, you see the result before you order.

In our tests, from three to five people were drawn in full and recognisable: two parents with their three children, a family with a little girl with curly hair, a grandmother between two grandchildren. One or two people, more than five, a photo taken from a distance or hidden faces have not been tried: the poster is not guaranteed in those cases, which is why you see it before you order.

Yes. An artificial intelligence transforms your photo in about thirty seconds: it is not the work of an animation studio, and no existing character or movie is reproduced. You see the result before you order, and that exact image is the one printed, in our workshop in Aveyron. The features, hairstyles and expressions come from your photo, but the proportions are deliberately a little exaggerated, as in a cartoon: the likeness of a 3D character is never that of a photograph.

Yes. The title and subtitle are written at the top of the poster, not in the image: you can change them at any time without redoing the image — a first name, the family name, a date. They are limited to 30 and 40 characters, and shrink to fit on one line. Title ideas are suggested under the field.

A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes that are easy to find. An optional wooden frame is available on A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with an acrylic glass front; the larger sizes are delivered rolled, to be framed at home. The image fills the sheet: depending on the size, a little of the top and bottom is cropped (up to 11% on the 30 × 40, none on the 40 × 60), and the title always stays whole.

It stays private: never published, and deleted thirty days after your order is dispatched (or after purchase, for the printable file), together with the image created. It is sent to an artificial intelligence service run by Google to be transformed; the privacy policy describes this.

Yes. The printable file contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG — ten files in all, through a download link sent after payment, so you can print it wherever you like.

The workshop prints to order and dispatches within 48 hours: allow four to five days in France and six to seven elsewhere in the European Union, workshop time included. For a fixed date, order a week ahead in France and ten days ahead elsewhere — so for Ireland, at least ten days.
