I was a part of 4 AAA titles where I used to edit Mo-cap data and cleanup as well as Animating characters where the data was twisted or bad.During this tenure, I have animated and edited several Creatures and Biped Character.Used several tools and scripts given by client and few tools like Mg tools,A tools,Studio Library to make work more efficient. In 2017 I lead a team of 12 team mates in the absence of my Supervisor about two months and delivered nearly 200 In-game animations on creatures,Ogre,Zombies and Player.Big challenge for me to lead my own teammates which eventually ended up well!It was a good experience :)
