Ink Simulation Test

After watching numerous videos on Vimeo and YouTube, i really wanted to try out an ink effect. Though this is not a complete version, it was a start. I have since derived multiple methods of getting a better result. I shall keep on posting when i have something new to show.

Un’ Entourage

UnEntourage was a celebrity management company which required our services. This was our first website at Wickiewoola Creatives. The website wasn’t the best (speaking 3 years later) but was quite nice since we had never undertaken such a project before.

Beena John

This was a very interesting website we made at Wickiewoola Creatives. It was an online gallery for the artist Beena John. The paint tube is CG, and i’m really happy with the realism it brings to the site. Please click below to view the website. Beena John’s Gallery

Crowd Simulation

While working on Veer at EyeQube Studios, i was asked to find a way to make crowd simulation easier to achieve. After days of work, i managed to make a Maya plugin that would import a library of characters along with inter-changable textures (set at import). The plugin also had the capability to add an animation track onto the character at a specific co-ordinate/time frame along with features like the capability to mirror the animation or change the speed. A standardized referencing pipeline was implemented so as to make corrections very easily. All of this was achieved through an animator friendly interface […]

The Maya Biped

3d Upside Down is an organisation that works with a lot of freelancers all over the country to produce low to medium quality films at a very reasonable cost. When working on Save Sonny with 3d Upside Down, i was asked to make a script/plugin for Maya that would give my rigs a Biped like setup that 3D Max boasts of. The idea was that an animator should not have to switch from IK to FK or vice versa. I was also required to emulate a toned down version of an full body IK setup within a standard rig format set […]

Showreel 2008

The following showreel includes the previews of some of the work that i done for UTV Animations like Arjun, Alice in Wonderland, 321 Penguin and so on. The hand rigging mechanism i had designed and used here has been instrumental in the precision and quality of all the projects i have taken on till date. The soundtrack for the showreel was one of my first compositions and will remain close to my heart. Please watch the video below [mejsvideo                              src=”http://raahilkulshreshtha.com/videos/showreel2008.mp4″             […]

Character Interfacing

While working both at EyeQube Studios and UTV Animations, i was asked to build a character interface for the projects (Arjun, Don’t Touch Me, Aladin) we had been working on. Every time i would start from scratch, i ended up with something better. The last interface i made was for Don’t Touch Me. I was packed with tonnes of features including a very intuitive way for fellow riggers to use the same and taper it to their own methods. The main features included: Standard control selection via buttons on a rendered image of the character. Easy character switching when using multiple […]

Night Hustle (Animated Short)

Night Hustle was a college project at Toonz Animation, Trivandrum. Its a short story about an old man and his naughty gramophone. This was my first full fledged project and was quite the experience. Please watch the video below.
