The true potential of
INDIAN
GRAPHIC
INDUSTRY
Today we have
Sivaprasad from
Realwork Studios whose
team has made it clear
that Indian talent can
be used to produce
high quality graphic
and animation work by
making India’s first totally
open source software
produced 3D trailer titled
“Ranadheeran”. We liked
their intentions so we
made small talk with
him. Here’s what we
learnt.
To those of us unaware
of open source software,
could you explain what
that means?
Open source Software
means, a program or a
software application,
whose source code is
freely available to
download and explore.
24
What it means is that
not only anybody can
download the application
and use it, but also can
modify the source code,
thereby customizing the
application itself. Linux
is one such example of
a very powerful Open
source project.
How did you get
introduced into the
world of graphics and
animation at first? What
fascinated you?
I have been, interested
in drawing from a very
small age, and have been
sketching and painting in
different mediums since
then. What fascinated
me in art was the way
our minds learn new
things around us to create
believable art. For
instance , we learn about
light, surfaces, optics and
composition etc.,
