The idea of this project was to learn about various tools in Blender by creating some basic animations. I chose to re-imagine the Devanagari alphabets - the vowels (swar) in particular - as they offer variety in terms of the letter form. Makes them fun to play around with.

As a beginner in 3D (and animation in general), I found the grid based letter forms easier to create.
The interpretation of the alphabets is according to the method we used to learn these alphabets as a student, early in our school days.
