The General

General Parvez Musharraf has very quickly become a very popular political figure in the past 2 years. The self-proclaimed President of Pakistan was the target of a few suicide bombing attempts when he came to power. Mostly by jackasses who started hallucinating of lounging with 70 virgins in the afterlife even before they attempted anything (The Pakistani Police, which is saying alot, got tipped off by just watching these idiots drive while dodging these 70 virgins - on the roads). that wasn't even promised to jackasses in the first place. This video is a speech that the President made right after the attempt.

Medium: Clay

Sound: This is one of two clips done by a group of very talented yet anonymous individuals. If you guys read this... please contact me for acknowledgment. Have been waiting for you guys to come up with a new one ever since your second clip.

Self Portrait

This is who I am. "Complexly Simple". Loads of simple pieces meshed together to make a complex arrangement, both anatomically as well as psychologically. By far one of the most honest and important pieces of my work.

The model at the top center is a modular origami piece created using the Sonobe's module. The model has approx. 540 pieces. There is a bulb inside the piece that gives it the radiating effect.

The Chess Set

My first attempt at modeling in NURBS. Developed a chess set as my first assignment which i eventually ended up using in my final project for the class. All modeling, texturing and animation done in Maya v. 8.5

Theme: Terrorist vs. Anti-Terrorist (very apt for the current global political scene)

Modeling: All NURBS. Modeled out 12 different pieces, along with their accessories. The chess board and the gun rack came later on in the final animation piece.

Animation: The final clip was just a piece demonstrating the physics of falling objects. Animating all the different tiny elements took some time. Sound still has to be added (eventually).

The Bottle

Mental Ray is the stuff!!! A very simple Revolve for the bottle and bit of tweaking of the vertices to give a bit of detail for the refraction and reflections to give a nicer feel for the bottom of the bottle.

Rigged up the color and transparency of a Ramp Shader with Anisotropic shaders.
