Summary
Rishabh Battulwar is a software engineering manager and former research engineer with 12 years of experience building production tools for facial animation and photorealistic CG character pipelines. He has driven R&D at Digital Domain creating systems that let actors' expressions control creatures like Thanos and Hulk, and later applied ML/MLP techniques to automate rigging and animation workflows. At Apple he progressed from senior engineer to engineering manager, bringing a mix of computer graphics, computer vision, and computational geometry expertise to large-scale production teams. Known for shipping artist-friendly tools that minimize manual effort, he collaborates closely with modeling, rigging and animation groups to move prototypes into out-of-the-box production software. Rishabh pairs a USC M.S. in Computer Science with hands-on movie-grade VFX experience, and increasingly leverages simple deep learning models to boost realism while keeping systems practical for artists.
