Space Ship Tryout

I made this from scratch just for practice at texturing and modelling. It took me about 3 days while i had free time.

Various Exhibition Stands

Tamkeen 6x6 Stands

Tamkeen Stand 3x3 mall Stands

This was a project i had to model for Tamkeen, which involved modelling 7 different stands in a period of 4 days.

Sabrine Intro

Finally it is over, me and my supervisor Samir Mairif managed to make this in a period of 4 days ( cause that was our deadline to cope up with the month of ramadan). Samir animated the amazing transformation scene and was involved in the lighting and rendering for the aniamtion. I was involved in the storyboarding and the animation for the first 2 scenes.

The brilliant music was composed by the talented Khalid AKA Project Synthethic.

hope you guys enjoy it!!!

PS: Incase you may have forgotten, Im open to any opinions and critics. So don't feel shy to share them

What is going wrong with the world!!!!!

Bring it on Batman!!!!!

After finishing Batman: Arkham Asylum, the first thing that came to my mind was that when game critics mentioned that the game was the best superhero game ever made.Im pretty sure that quite many of us weren't too sure about it because of the other superhero games that had got tied down except for certain ones like the Ultimate spiderman and X men legends (Incase they are any others i missed out let me know)

But certain aspects like brilliant pacing, Out of the world voice acting, Top notch storytelling can take gaming too a whole new level. And that was what Batman: Arkham Asylum clearly demonstrated.

And if that wasn't good enough, news of the sequel have emerged. Hell yeah you know what im talking about. Rocksteady Studios has announced development for 'Arkham city'.

And if there is anything i gotta say to this, it would be:

"BRING IT ON BABY!!!!"

Heres the trailer incase you guys wanna get a glimpse of what the game is all about.For more information you should check out this website, which im pretty sure everyone of know about:

this is a work in progress for an intro our company is making for BTV for the holy month of ramadan. The intro is almost done. For this scene i made the animation and the lighting and rendering was done by my supervisor Samir Mairif. Entire project is done in MAYA

Walk down memory lane
