Introduction

I am Mohit Sanchaniya. I live in Stockholm, but I’m originally from Bengaluru, India. I’m a self-taught CG artist and creative specialist. It has been a great journey, even though the CGI industry in India is still in the initial stages of archviz.





How I got into 3D

I graduated in civil architecture, but during my college years, I found my passion in the archviz industry. It has since then turned into a full-time profession. It all started out quite suddenly from the movie Transformers, which amazed me in regards to how the characters were brought to life and made to look so realistic. This inspired me to get into 3D and that’s when I started out learning tools starting with Maya and later moving on to 3ds Max, focusing more on architecture. My dad is a painter, which also had an influence for me in understanding color, composition, and art.





My current occupation

I work as a visual designer in TMRW Stockholm, Sweden. I had participated in the TMRW Challenge 2017, in which I won 2nd place. This got me the job in Sweden. Prior to Sweden, I was working as a freelancer in India.





The Evermotion Challenge 2018

I’d been so busy with the work routine that I didn't find myself growing or improving and learning new skills, and then I saw the Evermotion Challenge 2018, which had an interesting theme, ‘A Day in the City’. This definitely pushed me to participate - not to win, but to focus on learning new applications like Substance Designer.
