About my work:

Since 1994 I work intensely with 3D animation and modeling, as well as video editing and video/photo compositing.

I have a big interest in storytelling so I started with easy stop-motion-movies, then I made 3D animation and character-design.

2008 I worked as modeler and 3D-Artist for the company e.sigma Systems Ilmenau, Germany particularly suitable for a real time engine simulation. 2009 I studied Virtual Design at the Fachhochschule Kaiserslautern, Germany for one year.

Now I do complex photo-realistic scenes with light- and color-design.

Since that time I worked on some little comercial and non-comercial projects.



My focus is on compositing and animation.

The aim is to work as freelancer or employer on this work front. I'm also interested in non-comercial projects too.



In the last 20 years I mainly concerned with the following techniques and programs:

- character animation, design, modeling and rigging (Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Mudbox, Zbrush, Maya)

- compositing (Adobe after effects, Nuke)

- 3D/2D camera/object tracking (Adobe after effects, Pixel Farm Tracker, boujou, Adobe AE Mocha)

- 3D-physical systems and plugins like fluids, fire, fabric and rigid bodys (fumefx, realflow, rayfire, massfx, craftsudio, Vue, particle flow)

- lighting (Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Vue)



additional:

- architecture modeling (Autodesk 3D Studio Max)

- 3D modeling from pictures or real objects

- 3D scan (kinect developer kit, scenect, ReconstructMeQt)

- optical motion capturing (iPiMocapStudio)

- photographing (for HDRI, backgrounds and surrounding)

- 3D-stereoscopy (Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Adobe after effects)

- cut and SFX (Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Goldwave, Audacity, FL Studio 10)



Additional, I love technology. So I am familiar with basics of network technology and current computer systems as well. Furthermore, I am an ambitious amateur photo-videographer.



Everytime I try to gain new knowledge and check out new techniques for better results.
