Red9 Studio Pack
Ok, here seems to be a neat little tool for speeding up animation workflow. This tool comes with a combo pack of Node Search utility and some Animation Tools. I am gonna play with this tool for my animation projects for sure! For me this seems to be a must have recommended tool for animation workflow. Thanks to the Red9 Studio for the share 😉

Ghangzong “Himalayan” Sir
A little OFF Topic material again rather than the regular CG stuffs! Ok, here is a really remarkable person and a very good friend of mine, Binod! For the past 6 years he have been volunteering and educating children and peoples living in Dolpa (one of the remotest places in Nepal). Whatever he earns and make from fund raising goes to establishing school in Dolpa. He is know as Ghangzong Sir (Himalayan Dolpa Sir) by the local community and praised by them. His struggle, effort and spirit is still unheard by lot of people so I helped him make a blog and a facebook group to share what he have in his mind! I wish him the very best on his endeavors and more than willing to support 🙂

Making Animatable Pivot: Part 2
OK, here comes the 2nd part of creating an Animated Pivot by a good friend of mine. In this post he describes on how to actually go ahead on setting up a pivot controller with a bit of maths involved. The offset part is still a bit tricky and will be described in Maulik’s up coming post 🙂
Sinka Momentum
Seems like Sinka is getting some momentum. I found this really interesting animation done by Justin Tan. The motion, body dynamics and expression seems really fluid. I like the snappyness … really good job 🙂
Pokhara ~ Ghandruk Trek / Trip 2011
Ok, here is a little different topic; not the regular CG stuff but the nature! Recently I went on a treking trip from Pokhara to Ghandruk, which is about 300 KM west of Kathmandu. The breathtaking views and sceneries here are some of the best in the world. You can almost feel the gigantic Himalayas above your head with beautiful village and wild green forest. These places are what I would like to call heaven on earth … the true Sangrila! I am looking forward to visit there again 🙂
