Artist Bio
Hello, I'm Aswin Balaji, a multi-disciplinary CG artist from Chennai, India.
I developed a passion for CGI and Design at a very young age. With over 8 years of professional experience, my work has spanned across multiple aspects of 3D production, UI design, interaction programming and data visualization. I have worked as an independent professional and also as part of small production teams, and am fully capable of leading projects from concept to completion.
In the recent past, I've worked extensively with Cinema4D and Arnold, Redshift and Octane renderers to create motion graphic content for interactive applications.
