Aabid Dhamani — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:40:40 +0000

After a long delay and busy months, I had created a scheduling for my work. Here is what you can except in the coming year.

There will be a slight update to my website, with new updated links to new projects.

New look for the website.

New animations and updated reel.

Non animation related stuff.

I guess I can only act on the following stuff for now. Can’t promise much as I have been disappointed in resuming my short every year. Anyhow, thanks for stopping by, and see you later with some new stuff

Knorr Ep2 – Freelanced Project

Aabid Dhamani — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 13:30:43 +0000

Its been a year to this project on which I had worked. I was hired for a week at H2O Animation to do a minute of animation. The animation itself is not that good or refined due to time and rig constraints.

Here is it:

Hope you had enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

DCUO-MA Trailer Animations

Aabid Dhamani — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 17:38:32 +0000

Is been almost 11 months since the competition been over on facebook. Involving in such competition was quiet challenging as many of the great animators were there too. It was a great learning experience.

The competition was organized by Mass Animation with collaboration with DC Universe Online. There were two categories, one game animation and the other for game trailer. I do submitted few clips, however one of them got lucky enough to get selected by the Jury and was then further refined to get it ready for final trailer. To view the full trailer, please refer to my previous post.

The game itself has been little delayed to the early 2011. Check out DC Universe Online blog and website for more information.

Thanks

Hey,

Just an update since no post been made until now. In these couple of months, I haven’t posted anything here plus my website also haven’t got any attention. Its been a very busy ride and all the laziness came with it. In August, I had been relocated to Singapore and working in Animation Studio and am really loving how things are going here.

I have been settled and will start working on updating all the pending works. Today I feel really good as after a really long time grab a paper and try some rough poses. It looks crap but I am satisfy as I know I am learning it and practising it every day will make a difference. I will try to make it online soon.

A small update to the website with clips from DC Universe competition and some update to the profile and resume, which will be soon be updated.

There are two short films in which I was collaborating, will soon done with finalization of shots.

And the production of my old short, which is planned to be resumed by this year end. And man, I am serious in finishing it up by next year 2011.

Well, for now these are the pending stuff on which I will be more focusing and stay tune for more updates soon

Hey,

After its release on 15th June at E3, the trailer of DCUO/Mass Animation had been onlined. It had revealed all the winners of DCUO/Mass Animation – animation contest which was held on December 2009 – January 2010.

Robo Ball

Aabid Dhamani — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:05:21 +0000

At last, I had used 3D Studio Max and experience how things work there. Basically its the follow up from Tyson Ibele tutorial. And I am very thankful for that. Model and Rig is by him, other than that, animation, texturing, lighting, rendering and compositing were done by me.

It was great experience working in there.
