Nice ink on 'Of Indian Origin'

Topi just got a mention on this neat Indian-themed creative blog.

Topi on Japanese TV

Topi was recently featured on 'Gat Chane', a program that airs on public television in Japan. The show features the work of both students and researchers, and is aimed at college students.

An excerpt from Topi was included in their episode on motion capture at USC:

The motion capture stage shown is where I shot all the mocap for the film - it's at the Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts at USC. Zemeckis was also the co-instructor of my my mocap class and is featured right before Topi in the clip above.

Now if only I knew what they were saying...

Animation Reporter article

Animation Report is an Indian magazine that featured Topi in their latest issue.

Topi featured in 'Introducing Maya 2009'

A couple of stills from 'Topi' have been included in Dariush Derakhshani's new book, 'Introducing Maya 2009'.

The still of Bir in the book is actually an early version. The final composite looks more like this:

Needless to say, I'm super-stoked that the images were published.

'Topi' featured on VFXWorld + Massive Student Gallery

Some crowd tests that I did for my thesis are now featured on Massive Software's student gallery. There's a lot of other interesting projects that have been posted there as well.

VFXWorld also did a write-up on student work that features Massive, and included an image from my film - check out http://vfxworld.com/?atype=articles&id=3602&page=2
