CG Projects and Literature Study

In my observation, only about 5-7% of CG artists can create lifelike 3D likenesses or digital avatars that genuinely capture characters' emotions and fine photographic details. A genuine portrait does more than just provide a high-quality visual output; it brings out the subject's inner emotions and personality. Despite significant advancements in VR, AR, AI, 3D modelling, digital sculpting, 3D scanning, and numerous advanced software tools and graphic engines over the past decade, very few artists can produce super high-quality 3D likenesses. While AI and tools like Meta Human in Unreal Engine 5 offer some automation, they still cannot match the ability of a traditional oil painter or sketch artist who can accurately recreate a person’s likeness based on a description alone. read more

My Fine Arts Journey Through Resilience, Loss, and Purpose

Growing up in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, near the picturesque Brahmaputra River, I was surrounded by a family legacy of academic excellence. My father, mother, and grandfather were all highly educated, and many of my siblings and cousins pursued prestigious careers in medicine, engineering, and the military. It was expected that I would follow a similar path. However, my passion for art was undeniable, even as I initially enrolled in a Bachelor of Business Administration program to meet family expectations. Despite societal norms and family pressures, I made the bold decision to switch to fine arts, a courageous step in a society where a career in the arts is often undervalued. read more

Personal Statement and Research Vision

In the cruel grip of the coronavirus pandemic, I was faced with the enormous responsibility of caring for my cancer-survivor pregnant wife, who is also physically disabled, and my ailing mother, who was suffering from kidney failure. The lockdown made matters worse, as I mourned the loss of beloved friends and family members without being able to say our final goodbyes. As an artist, I tried to preserve their memories in my artwork, but I quickly realized that my current painting and 3D skills were insufficient to capture their true character and express my inner emotions. read more
