Mythravarun Vepakomma was born in Hyderabad, India, in 1983 and is currently working as a CG Supervisor at Xentrix Studios Pvt Ltd, India. Though he graduated in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 2004, he has always had a great passion for comics and cartoons. During his studies, his passion got him attracted to web designing and 3D animation. Mythravarun always believed in transforming his passion into a career. He decided to go for it and started learning 3D graphics and web designing on his own. He also started working as a part-time illustrator and graphic designer. After consistent efforts, he finally moved into the field of 3D animation in 2005 to chase his dream of making it his career. He has a decade of experience in several TV series, theme park ride films, and features. He now deals with creating and setting up CG lighting and compositing pipelines, providing a creative direction for CG Projects, research and development on several render engines to create a stable future for the studio, and many more things. Midway through his career, Mythravarun encountered Blender and was fascinated by its features and the fact that it was an open source software. This made him dig deeper into Blender to get a better understanding. Now he prefers to use Blender for many of his illustrations. As a hobby and secondary interest, he composes music and writes blogs on social awareness.
