Poisson Steve is a creation by Vigz with Music by Tomo. Their Video has blown up on Instagram with a very catchy song and super cute Illustration as well as Animation. Inspiring a huge crowd of creators online to put their own spin on the Steve the Fish in orange with arms as well as legs. And a song so catchy it won’t leave your brain.

Remaking Poisson Steve

On the second night of Blender Conference 2024 I played an 2 hour set of modular madness with live rendered Visuals. I had so much fun that night and had so many good responses the following days.

With some free time in the end of 2023 I looked into creating full experiences with three.js and TypeScript. This was to learn how to handle import of multiple gltf assets, state management of multiple states in the game, mouse input, continuous level generation, setup of a clean seamless background with shadows, smooth transition between game states and user customizable game skins by dragging and dropping replacement textures.

Nodevember is a yearly community challenge, where the participants all work on the same prompts at once. The focus of this challenge revolves around procedural generation, which often is is done in a node based interface, hence the name “Nodevember”. For more info about the community check out the nodevember.io website. For a closer look at procedural generation techniques you can check out the article in my knowledge base.

This is a series of so called tweets from the microblogging plattform twitter which I am archiving here to make sure they do not get lost in the enshittification of social media. These tweets appear in chronological order.

Learning Geometry Nodes

From time to time I take small pieces from my Sketchbook and bring them to life. Sometimes as full 3D renderings, other times as animated version of like here. This rat scribble was a lot of fun, the animation is focusing to be very economic, so it’s just little to no redrawn frames, and a lot of wiggle effects.

I spent some time in April building a mesh and surface generator for spaceships. The abstract baseshapes are combined with predefined symmetries, but can also show asymmetrical features. A greeble shader displaces the surfaces and helps define the scale of the spaceships.

This is a series of daily illustrations for the community event 36daysoftype. Each illustration is designed as an eurorack module.

This is the brainchild of some friendly people at the Blender Conference 2019 and was then hosted by Jonas Dichelle and Luca Rood on nodevember.io. Every illustration is based around a single shader, built inside the Blender Nodesystem.

During the 2013 installment of 36daysoftype I did dive into creating randomized but pleasing illustrations via automated processes. Little did I know that this kind Procedural Generation will be not only used in my private projects, but will also become more and more important at work.

This is collection of gifs and images I uploaded to the micro blogging service tumblr in 2017. Some things are inspired by other creators, others ideas are taken from university projects. All done in Blender showcasing how I use the software for different art styles and levels of realism.

While I overall enjoyed my Studies in Cologne, I was not the best in keeping or even archiving all the practial work or the papers we had to write. Something I now dearly regrett as I often would love to skimm through a chronological order of works and classes. So this is less of a Portfolio entry and more a way for me to archive some of the things I did back then.

Art Director Jan Lankisch and frontman Bid approached me in again in 2015 to help them create the Visuals for the latest The Monochrome Set release. This time Bending metallic rings in a shape of Bids portrait. It was a vial aspect to weld the bust onto a plane, to make the portrait pop more out of the circles.

The bust is a mix of a photogrammetry scan of myself, sculpting Bids head and face form onto it.

Demoreel 2013

In 2013 I was still studying electrical engineering. I still set out to follow some of the most creative people I found online and create an Everyday project. Planing, creating, rendering and publishing an image made with the 3D Software Blender and other tools. This project allowed me to enter a professional creative career.
