Vipul Sachdeva is a 3D designer based out of Delhi. He has been in the design space for the last 5 years and his work focuses on 3D stylised characters and motion designing. Growing up, Vipul was always fascinated by the world of animation and comics like Chacha Chaudhari, Pinki, etc. Not just for the entertainment value but fascinated by their capacity to communicate messages through simplicity.

And that is what he always strived to bring to his work using software such as Cinema 4D, Marvelous Designer and After Effects. Vipul’s aim is to bring to the table the right blend of simplicity and complexity in a manner that resonates and lasts.  Amidst this conversation, we spoke about his journey as an artist. What triggered his curiosity and interest in creating 3d artwork. The process, the time and the effort it takes to create 3d models.  We discussed how these models can be used for an overall collection or animation. Further, we talked about the application of Crypto and NFTs and Vipul's future plans. Also spoke about his recent collection and the secret recipe to generate sales in this competitive space.
