material study

2009-12-06T22:41:00.004+05:30

It is totally done by me( right from modeling, unwrapping, texturing & lighting). Thanks to mental rays and 3d studio max. I am a ardent fan of 3d studio max. Basically I use Autodesk Maya in production, but I believe in the power of max because of its friendly approach to using various tools which will be more or less difficult on other software. Again it can be achieved on other software.

You can check my wireframe image of layout. I will upload my screen shots in my free time which will show how I did shading in mental ray.

Just used photoshop to paint this image. I always like marine green. it gives demonic shade.

Da Jammies

It was a awesome moment of my life when I designed this spectacular stage shows of da jammie's.

The vibrant colours of lights and characters makes this show a special one to be remembered. I was treating it as other projects in hand. But after knowing FarCor Studios's criterion, I changed whole look & feel. Please have a look on the launch.

December’ 2005 – Technical Head (Lighting/Shading)

Client: Maya Entertainment Ltd.

Description: I am responsible for creating lit environments and elements, including placing key lights, creating shadows for both live action integration and fully CG images, texture coordinate application (including fur application and perspective texture application), texture map painting, material property/shader specification, and composting (both as a means of lighting and the combining of scene elements). Led the implementation, testing, and integration in production of a practical subsurface scattering solution for skin.

Here I conduct several experiments on high quality images through the exploitation of parallelism on both multi processor machines and across network of machines( scan line algorithm and BSPs). Main challenge is to put user-settable parameters to achieve even higher performance than normally achieved by the built-in automatic scene cost analysis. Here we are working for different kinds of caustic such as multiple reflections /or multiple refraction, caused by self-reflection/refraction, volume caustics. Using this system we simulate any combination of diffuse, specular and glossy reflection and transmission like color bleeding caused by diffuse interreflections and volume scattering.

Composting

*** Composting is the main part in production. As a last phase of lighting process, I use Autodesk's Combustion and Adobe's After effects. After taking out several passes from 3D ( Diffuse, specular, ambient, direct light, indirect light, ambient occlusion, normal, coverage, UV passes), I composite on those softwares. After first pass of lighting, as a second pass of lighting can be done on composting by making incoming 2D pass as 3d pass. In the process, rotoscoping is done as per the requirements of projects. My last job would be a color-grading job to get the richness of a subject.

Texturing

In the process of lighting, I extensively care for texturing for exact look and contrast level difference to avoid unnecessary rendering issues such as over brighten color means unclamped color, shadow edging problems, low depth bump maps.

It's a sincere approach of my inner feelings about sadness. This palatial property
had been neglected due to lack of maintenance and funds. My shades of darkness
depicts those sentimental moments of Jamindars in North Kolkata.

This precious moment of Arup, an natural artist captured by me. I had taken this snap in colour and then made it to black and white.

My favourite lighter

2007-05-13T18:30:00.000+05:30

Few days back I bought a cigarette packet, called I-Gen. As a promotional campaign they gave me a lighter. I liked it so much that I couldn't resist myself from making it in 3d. I used auto desk's 3D Studio Max8.0 and photoshop for texture.

Sunset

2007-04-12T15:17:00.000+05:30

Remembering the sunset on the river side in my village. Boats that seem to be blur, as the sun sets down. Played with Photoshop Brush without any filter. Hope you will like this.

Snowy Forest

2007-04-12T01:03:00.000+05:30

It is a genuine effort to make a brush stroke on forest. I restricted myself from choosing multiple colours in my palette. So you can say it as a experiment of brush and colours.

Wanted to check the magical blending of primary colour and its complementary colours.
I would like to give a thanks to all the artists around the globe for giving me inspiration.

INDIAN RAILWAY

2007-03-29T23:11:00.000+05:30

Welcome abode my blog spot. I would like to introduce myself as Atanu Roy, a senior lighting artist in a reputed animation firm in Mumbai.

This is my first model on my blog. It shows a locomotive waiting at a station. The locomotive is a part of a huge network called Indian railways, India's largest government owned autonomous body. Locomotives started running in India from 1852 onwards. Indian Railways was then known as the Great Indian Peninsular Railways. Today, Indian Railways spans the length and breadth of the country, connecting people of all cultures and races, thus enabling the common man to travel, mingle freely with others, see places and also realise his dreams.

Around 9000 trains carrying approximately 15 million passengers pass through 7000 stations everyday. It can be a security agencies nightmare. Employing over 14 lakh employees from all parts of the country, the Indian Railways carries the message of national integration and an united India, a country which is showing a steady growth in its economy with lots of promises in the 21st century. From a loss making company defaulting in paying dividends worth Rs 1823 crore in 2001, Indian Railways has revved up and revamped its strategies. Today it's treasury boasts of a Rs 12,140 crore turnover. An impressive success story, the story of Indian Railways is definitely management case study material. Taking inspiration from the Indian Railways, i wish to create my magic using modeling, texturing and lighting tools and welcome you all to my page. This is my fitting tribute to the great Indian Railways, always benefiting the common man.
