Offering professional instruction for FX in Houdini at ITM. Equipping students with practical skills in particle and dynamic simulations.

Undisclosed Project - Contributed to a major Hollywood movie project, working on various fx including flip simulations, vellum simulations, and particle effects.

Undisclosed Project - Worked on a water-heavy FX show involving various underwater elements such as bubbles, marine snow, propeller wash fx, and underwater electricity.Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - In this project, I have been exploring the pipeline and setting up the workflow of the Houdini scatter system for the environments. This has helped me gain a deep understanding of the MPC pipeline, the packages released by each department, and how to retain data from packages and pass it over to Lighting with an added motion from FX.Hocus Pocus 2 - I was responsible for developing the Lightning system for characters that shot lightning arcs in the movie. This included creating procedurally generated curves, smoke, and particle sims. I also set up controls to easily run the first pass of shots for each character given the correct input. Additionally, I created another setup for energy BeamFX shooting from a cauldron.

The Battle at Lake Changjin - I created two of the most challenging shots in my experience, including a slow-motion bullet tearing through a bag of gunpowder and setting it on fire, and a Power Transmission Tower collapsing due to an explosion. This involved metal deformation, matching plate explosions, ground collapsing, impact elements, and multiple secondary elements to add detail. I was also responsible for creating setups for explosions that were handed over to run on respective shots.Moonshot - Created earth formation (Hologram Particles Effect). Worked as a sequence lead for creating sky dust element.Worked on Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to manipulate the existing Lightning setup. Worked on the development of unreleased projects to create a small-scale fire and a flame thrower and to create multiple layers of Smoke Plumes for another project.

I worked as a Crowd TD on the movie MY Little Pony for multiple sequences using Golaem. The project taught me the complete pipeline for creating crowds, from the prerequisites required for rigging and animation to setting up Golaem crowd characters (GCHAs) and motion files (GMOs).General tasks involved adding behaviors, mixing and blending motions, and triggering conditions to interact according to defined logic. The steps to create such setups were often monotonous. As a result, I started learning and implementing small, on-the-go Python scripts in Maya to automate some of the tasks during shot execution.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - I created a setup for impact elements (smoke puffs and sparks) from shooting blasters and utilized the same setup on consecutive shots.The Mandalorian - Created interactive flames and smoke with Mandalorian Steel/Beskar. Created secondary elements like Chimney Smoke(Background element) and metal Sparks. Worked on using the existing setup of the Electric Wire during one of the fight sequences.Skyfire - Created setup for smoke trail shooting out of volcanic eruption during a bike chase sequence and added the same setup to multiple shots in continuity.

FX Lead at DNEG Mumbai for shows Venom, Triple Frontier, and Eight Hundred. Worked closely with the DFX Supervisors to create multiple goo and tentacle effects and manipulate existing setups, while collaborating with artists for the same.Worked as FX TD on Justice League, Deadpool 2, and Hurricane Heist during my time with the company.During my tenure, I had the opportunity to learn a lot working on international projects, connecting with teams offshore, and working on challenging effects such as fire, smoke, fx tentacles, tech anim (tree simulations), and snow. This expanded my knowledge deeply with the help of DNEG resources and its pipeline.

I was responsible for the R&D of the ship sailing effect for the Bollywood movie Thugs of Hindostan.

Worked on Bollywood movies Mohenjo Daro and Rangoon as well as commercials, which involved various complex, large-scale flip simulations, explosions, and smoke fx. Working at this studio allowed me to gain experience with FX in Houdini, and eventually, I was able to make it my primary skill.

Worked as an FX artist on the international TV series Quantum Break and on several TV commercials, including ads for Wheel, Videocon, Whirlpool water purifier, and washing machine.

This studio gave me the opportunity to work in multiple departments as a 3D generalist and compositor. This experience allowed me to develop a strong understanding of the entire pipeline in film VFX and commercials. I have worked as an FX/3D artist on several Bollywood movies, including Eh Janam tere lekhe, Khamoshiyan, Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, Punjab 1985. Worked on following commercials, audiovisuals and Motion-graphics as a 3D Generalist - Tata Sky Active Vedic Maths, MaxxMobile AXD21 MSD7 Smarty, Tata Sky Cricket, FK - Future Kozmetik, Force Balwan, Channel V - Heroes

I began my career in VFX at Cinevista as a generalist. While working there, I developed a range of skills as a compositor and 3D generalist on mythological TV series such as Mahabharata (for Udaya TV, Kannada) and Mahabharatam (for Sun TV Network, Tamil).Also created online nursery rhyme videos and motion graphics for TV serials, such as - Dil Dosti Dance - Channel V.My tasks included effects, motion graphics, compositing shots as well as chroma-keying and rotoscoping.
