Arthur and the Minimoys is where I began my journey as an industry-level professional artist.
Being a part of the 3D Lighting department, our task was to use in-house pipeline tools to import the respective light groups for individual shots, take a few test renders and submit the shot on approval.

This was my first experience working with customized pipeline tools in a production, and I was fascinated by its potential. Curious to know more, I had a few discussions with a senior developer on the team and started exploring MEL and Python by myself. In the next few months, with the help of a fellow teammate, we upgraded the existing pipeline tools to further optimize the production.

Achievements

• Proposed an automated workflow solution.
• Developed a working prototype and tested it on a small scale.
• Worked with the developers for integration of prototype into existing pipeline tools, which resulted in 15 - 20% increase in daily shot submission of the entire team.
• Received an award from the Production Head and honarary mention by Project Manager for its successful implementation.
