Finally,much waited new Game titile of ours "Cart Kings" is released. It’s a Result of 16 months of Pressure,Joy,pain,fight and I even lost some of my friends during this process................................ :(

I've learned a lot while working on this project.
I've taken care of all those rigs which are used on this game.
Created and Handled the Modeling,Rigging and Animation pipeline.
Created some new tools to ease the animation and rigging process.
Taken care of using the animation memory go get the proper FPS.

I've Created all the rigs in such a way that they share animations between each character. Which reduced the amount of time used for creating the animations of every character.

Human Rigs:-

There are 9 Human characters in this game and all these rigs will share the same animations between them.

All the rigs are Retargetable.

These rigs have both iK and FK systems and have single skeleton to do all this.

Bull Rigs:-

There are total of 6 bulls in this game and are unique to each other.

All these Bull share the same rig's and animations.

Which helped us a lot in reducing maintain the size with in the memory allocated for the animations.

All the rigs are Retargetable.

These rigs have both iK and FK systems and have single skeleton to do all this.

***I would like to Dedicate this game to my Friend Ravi Kanth,who is my Bro,a Guide and my Colleague who created the Most of the Animation job used in this game , Passed away just before relasing of this game.May god Rest his Soul in Peace
He is the one who planned this Trailer.

One can race around bullock carts, ridden by any of one’s favourite Tinkle characters – Shikari Shambhu, Supandi, Tantri the Mantri or any of the other Indian characters and race through the various landmarks across India.

Cart Kings. Quite imaginative naming there, indeed, but judging by the reactions of kids lining up at the launch,


Developed by the Hyderabad based Gameshastra, Cart Kings is the latest release from their series of PlayStation games that are with uniquely Indian flavour.

I'm so happy as this is My 1st PS2 and PSP game Title and all those characters were rigged by me. but, there is a small problem at the ending of this video. i.e. the Girl's sari is not having any dynamics, they have missed the actual file which was supposed be used for rendering.

Hi frnds, this is my new Digital Painting and infact it's my 1st painting too.....

It explains how we are polluting our Environment..............

Despite all of the uncertainty of 2008, video game sales have been booming. U.S. sales of video game hardware, software and accessories surged 36 percent in the first half of the year to 8.27 billion dollars. That even outpaces the 6.1 billion dollars grossed over the same period in 2007, which was a record year for the industry.

Indeed, the video game industry has acquired the reputation of being recession-proof and the statistics bear that out. In 2002, after the technology bubble burst, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 22 percent, but video gaming revenue climbed 43 percent. After a banner year in 2007, in which industry sales soared 50 percent to an all-time high of 18.85 billion dollars, 2008 is shaping up to be a new industry standard. Worldwide revenue is expected to exceed 57 billion dollars in 2008, up 35 percent from the 2007 record of 41.9 billion dollars.

267 million video games, an average of nine games per second, were sold across the country last year, but as remarkable as that is, video games are soaring off of the shelves even faster in 2008, with sales up 41 percent in the first half of the year. As the world’s leading format of entertainment, the video game industry had global sales of 41.9 billion dollars in 2007 — double the total sales of 2002. At this rate, global sales will hit 68.3 billion dollars by 2012 — a 10.3 percent annual increase over the next four years.
