About

I’m Amar Dattatray Shinde, a 3D motion designer, FX artist, and creative technologist based in Berlin. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve delivered motion graphics, CG animation, product visualization, and simulation-driven VFX end to end—from concept and look development to final compositing—using tools like Maya, Houdini, Nuke, and Unreal Engine 5.

What makes my work different is that I don’t only build visuals—I also build the tools and pipelines behind them. I founded Reimagine FX, where I’ve shipped multiple iOS apps, released Maya plugins and artist-facing diagnostics, and grown a large learning channel by teaching production-focused workflows.

Viewport 3D is an iOS app I built for artists who need a fast way to preview, inspect and present 3D models without opening a full desktop DCC package.

The app supports common 3D formats including USD/USDZ, OBJ, STL, PLY, FBX, glTF, GLB and DAE, with features for render channels, animation playback, scene statistics, screenshots and AR Quick Look.

My role covered product direction, UX flow, 3D workflow planning, feature design, testing and creative/technical execution. The project reflects the kind of work I enjoy most: practical tools for artists, clean visual workflows and production-minded creative technology.
