3D Animator | 3D character Designer | 3D Game artist |

3D Generalist & VFX Artist | Founder, XPLO Animation | Trusted by Zack D. Films (27M+ Subs) & Kotak Securities I help brands and top-tier creators turn ideas into cinematic, production-ready 3D animation, CGI ads, and game assets built to actually perform, not just look good in a reel. Over 6+ years, I've built XPLO Animation into a studio delivering hyper-realistic and stylized (Pixar-style) 3D modeling, character animation, CGI product visualization, and game-ready assets for clients across 35+ countries. Some of the work I'm proud of: 🎬 Ongoing animation partner for Zack D. Films — one of the largest channels on YouTube (27M+ subscribers) 📈 3D/CGI visualization for Kotak Securities 🎮 Game-ready, engine-optimized assets (Unreal/Unity, PBR pipelines) 💼 $10K+ earned on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score Why clients work with me long-term: Both hyper-realistic and stylized 3D under one roof — you pick the look, I match the quality bar A clear, milestone-based process (concept → model → animation → delivery) so you always know where the project stands Fast, clear communication — no chasing me for updates I build for repeat partnerships, not one-off gigs If you need 3D that's built to perform — for ads, games, or content — let's talk about your project.
