Back From the Grave!

After a very long break (more than a year) I am back! Not that I was an active blogger before but I am disappointed by the fact that I was not able to keep up with my last years resolution of learning new stuff and sharing it with people. My new job was keeping me busy! :(

Speaking of which, It's been one year and two months since I joined Dreamworks Dedicated Unit in Bangalore!! Shortly after I finished my demo-reel, I moved to Bangalore to work as a Lighter. I've been so busy that I didn't even get to post my finished reel here!

In the past one year I got to work on some amazing projects like Puss In Boots, Madagascar 3 (In production) and a couple of TV shows. More on that later.

I'm currently learning Renderman and I am working through Saty Raghavachary's (who also works at Dreamworks!!) Rendering for Beginners: Image Synthesis using Renderman It's an amazing introduction to the renderman specification. I don't have access to Pixar's Renderman but I found a very strong alternative in 3D-elight. I love the fact that it's free! (with few limitations that doesn't bother me.)

I'll post some tests later.
