About this collection
When I composite a 3D object into real-world footage like the Gateway of India, it is not just about placing a model. I focus on matching the ambient lighting, surface texture, and perspective, so the digital elements feel like they genuinely belong in the landscape of our city.
This collection captures the variety in my 3D work that sits outside of my core series. It includes everything from high-impact brand visuals and product reveals to quiet, technical experiments like a 3D study of a Japanese stone lantern.
My approach to every project remains consistent: I build from scratch using Maya, Blender, and Substance Painter. I avoid AI generators because the soul of 3D art comes from the hours of manual work put into rigging, texturing, and rendering. Whether I am animating a sports jersey flying over Mumbai or lighting a static object to create a moody atmosphere, I am looking for the right balance between realism and style. If you have a concept that needs to be brought to life with a specific, authentic vibe, I am ready to break it down and build it, layer by layer.
