thats great to hear UDHAM
I am also a 3d artist, i have been working on 3d sikh animations for about 5 years now. i setup a website many years ago called sikhiart and then sarbloh warriors, which was probably the only 3d sikh website on the net.
a lot of this has been development and training, and we are very close to producing an animation now.
A 3d animation is a long and hard process as you know, so building up to that we are developing a computer game based on sikh history from the 17th century.
we are Also working on a 3d animation. It would be great to for you to get in touch, i havent met many sikh 3d artists, and i have been posting bout sikh 3d animations fro past 7-8 years and you will get loads of encouragement but very few people who can help. Companies wont be of much help because its not commercially viable for them to create a sikh animation or game, beleive me i've tried. you can try and get funding from sikhs but even then they are reluctant to support such projects. there are many arts funding available depending on where you live, and they are willign to support ethnic minority media projects liek animations. I can get you more info if you want.
the support we get from the Sikh youth is amazing though, they can't wait to see this stuff, and tell you truth i can't wait to see it myself, ever since i was young i have been waiting for the comic books, cartoons, games that would remind me of sikh warriors and inspire me make me proud to be sikh, but nothing !, so i just thought F*** it , if noones guna do it then im just guna do it myself.
I definately think it is the way to go and is the future for us to communicate with the youth. We desperately need modern types of media to attract youth interest. Im glad theres more youth learning and using 3d technologies.
and I look forward to seeing your work.
