Profile
Walls littered with crayon drawings, and homework notepads filled with sketches. I have always explored and dissected VFX in Movies!
Jurassic Park, Aliens, Terminator are few of the movies that influenced me to pursue my dream of becoming a CG artist. I was so fascinated to see something that don’t exist, come to life.Monsters that I saw only in comics or nightmares, walk like real beings. After watching over and over, I put all my energy into exploring how they created that magic. My dad bought me a computer from his official trip to US in late 90s, that had Photoshop installed. And that was it! I have since never looked back.
Currently working as Senior Modeler on the Animated Feature at Lucasfilm Singapore, I bring 10 years of varied experience in Character Modeling, Texturing and various Asset building things CG. Attention to detail has always been my priority.
Contributed to Movies, TVC and Games such as Clone Wars, Cloudstreet, Wanted, Jumper, Need For Speed(Most Wanted), Skate, Looney Tunes Acme Arsenal, Spacechimps.
I had a blast working for Australian Pavilion at World Expo 2010, that happened in Shanghai. 7 Million people visited the Theater which played a CG animated movie narrated by 3 Hyper-realistic characters designed by me.
I have also conducted various 3D Modeling classes and Seminars. I enjoy teaching and sharing what Industry has taught me so far.
