Hey, My Name is Ashish Tripathi (so is the name of this site) and I am a 22 yr old . This blog is a place for me to share my thoughts and my contributions to the open source community. Apart from that, this website is my face on the internet where I publish links to my work and a medium for you guys to reach me anytime. You have reached the about me page on my blog and I should say that this was one of the most difficult part of writing a blog, i.e, writing about thyself. So here it goes,

Since childhood, I was always fascinated by the movies having those CG animation sequences. I always dreamt of growing up to be an animator. But it started taking shape when I installed the trial version of 3ds max10. The ease of use and the hidden power of 3dsmax immediately stuck to me. I started spending hours together staring at the screen trying to make some cool shapes with different materials. Playiing with reflection & refraction materials combined with smoke and particles became my new way to pass time. With help from the ’3dsmax 14’, I learnt a few basics.
