ok i prove it to myslef that im very lazy on updating this Blog..but here i am again…
so recently i finished making a Tv comercial for airing in europ and maybe some other places….its for BOMBA Drink…i made some backgrounds,and a heavy blast shot in maya,rendered it the way t looks like Comic images and then used Digital Fusion for compositing every shots and the Whole clip…in this one,i used the 3d tools of fusion in every shot,which are amazing tools for every compositors,this way i could setup the whole scene in fusion without needing to use a 3d software,and it saved me lots of time.. . . . i’ll post the address of the whole clip later cause im not allowed to upload the whole thing right now. . . . .and the pic above is a snapshot of it…..and its full 3d,exept for the fire in the right
and the good news for me,i’ll officialy start making my own animation on wednesday…so i’ll put lots and lots of stills and WIPs here,and ofcoarse on CGtalk….

oki…i’ve been busy for some time working on several projects…being involved in production of two short animations and a TV commercial,made me so much busy that i couldnt even work on my personal projects,but they are over now,and some how im happy cause all of them became great…
the first one was a short animation named “LOST PUPPET” for the RAIAVIN studio,in which i was the CG supervisor,and also responsible for the Character riggings,dynamic simalations,lighting,shading,renders,some animations and the 2D post process composites…i also workd on the overal composition of the images and objects as well which was absolute fun……the hardest part on this film for me was the wires which were tied to the characters and should have realstick movements,so i had to develope some curve dynamics system whom i could import and export into defrent scenes….technicauly not much hard but practically,,,,like HELL……
i also had to come up with a riging structure which allowed my animators (who had never used 3d) to be able to animate some difficault and complicated moves..some parts had some HIDE keys and SHOW keys,switching between multiple parental objects and even some times be disconeccted from the character,,,and what made it harder was that the animatores had no experiences in 3d before,,they were amazing 2D animatores whom had their first steps into 3d so i had to manage tthe rigges as easy as possible,,,,,AND GOD..when it came to renders,it was a nightmare,,i always found some hiddnen,duplicated objects or even joints all over the scene and had to clear them all so my renders wont BLAST away….;-)
but after all when i saw the final film with music and all that,just felt relaxed,,,…….oooooo gosh it finished at last……
the team was great,my good friend and director “moeen samady”,our animation supervisor “amir savadkoohi” and my new friend “mehran sanei” who did the modelings…and my long time friend “minoo janmohammadi” who was the production manager…just wanted to congradulates every one involved….

so finaly, today i saw my latest full animation commercial for Mothers day on some satelite channel…its been aired for some time but i could never catched that…you know,when you spend days and days on something and saw it finished you think like : “mmmm….no its not good…the animation needs some tweaking here and there and the textures/shaders/lights are not good at all..mmm yeah i could do better” …but after i saw it on tv today i was like “mmm,not bad at all….at least i can do better in next ones”,and i had only 18 days to do all of it,from modeling to animations and hours and hours of render times…..freelancing is sometimes hard when you have to do things like this all by your own,at least thanks to our good friends at Pixar for making Pixar renderman sooooo Fast,if it wasnt for that tool,i was still on renders,incredibly fast and amazing software……..
gotta prepare mself for upcoming commercials feauting the same cuty robot…..at least the other ones are not Live action and i can get rid of camera traking and light matching,,,,,,
