About
Sagar Lonkar
I have been a part of Animation/VFX industry for more than 12 years, where I have developed my production and troubleshooting skills working alongside with great colleagues and various interesting projects. Currently working with Weta FX for more than 6years.
Specialized in Asset work: Currently I am contributing to various assets. I am responsible for building, rigging and simulating the internal anatomy ( tissue and skin ) of a creature, in order to drive the final deformation of the skin by defining animation controls and rigging puppets to be used by animation and other departments.
Liaising with other departments: A very important part of my current role is communicating with other departments for requests and queries. I work closely with various departments, especially Modelling, Animation, and Shots and collaborate with the Creature Cloth/Hair TDs to deliver dynamic, realistic creatures. Other tasks: I am also responsible for maintaining the creature workflow by baking all the shots assigned to my shows and making sure to keep them up to date with latest motion published.
Using scripts and snippets to make production workflow faster has added to my debugging skills which is a very important part while transitioning to a TD role.
Along with prioritizing my current role, I have been involved in training new and mentoring new members of creatures.
I have completed my Graduate Diploma in Creative Technology in Media Design School, Auckland in 2014. As a part of my final project research, I had taken up practice based research in creation of series of Performance capture tests to understand its design and its workflow.
I am always looking for something which gives me a challenge and provide me with the opportunity to further develop my career in this Industry. I always work with great enthusiasm and with a professional attitude and strive to achieve the optimum results. I believe I would fit well in your company’s team culture and contribute to the ongoing success
