The Kitchen


Pretty simple and sweet scene from Jeremy Birn's Lighting challenge - Kitchen.
I like the mood of the scene.

Peace !!

Natural History Museum


This is from Jeremy Birn's lighting Challenge - Natural History Museum.
It was quiet a bit challenging to light this scene, but at the end hard work surely did pay off.

Looking forward to try my hands on complex lighting shots.

Cheers !!

Alien Spider


This was the first time I tried my hands on Maya. It took me a long time to get use to it. My room mate Devank Patel helped me a lot in creating this one and eventually helped me to submit in time :)

The Pumpkin !!


Ok, this was a real fun assignment. People from my class will know what am talking about :)
We were given a background to choose from, then light and texture the pumpkin to match exactly with the background.
It looked easy at the start but really turned out to be a real learning experience.
Software - Maya

San Francisco streets


This one was created for Matte Painting class, where we were asked to choose an image and completely change it. This one still needs a lot of work and color correction.

Software - Photoshop

Chimi



This from the Adv. Texture and Lighting class where we were asked to Texture, light and give some kind of hair cut to the character.
It was really fun overall but rendering out the hair gave real nightmares.
