Mainstage Visuals Recap @splashfestival 🌪️ Auch 2025 bekam unsere Mainstage wieder ihren eigenen digitalen Look: speziell für Splash! entwickelte 3D-Visuals, die live ins Bühnengeschehen integriert wurden. 3D Animation 🎥: @blockschmidt @marcikola @wintermute.studios Project Coordination 💻: @blockschmidt Live VJ-ing 🎚️: @nachtgeschuetz @frischvergiftung Camera & Cut 📸: @julia.haenel @marcushartelt Merch Design 👕: @bastianwien @niconeuntausend @studiobenski 3D Mask Support 🎭: @slamthings #splashfestival #stagevisuals #3Danimation #motiondesign #festivalvisuals #stagedesign

Let’s recap my fav 3D projects of 2024🫂 From directing a sneaker campaign for @footlockereu & @adidasoriginals to coordinating mainstage visuals for @splashfestival 2024 brought new milestones. Receiving the Megaride campaign sneakers with a custom note from Adidas & Footlocker and seeing my 3D visuals on those huge splash! festival mainstage screens, were surreal moments. Another major moment for me was becoming a @hellorokoko partnered creator 🤖. The Rokoko team and fellow creators have been incredibly supportive on my 3D mocap journey. It’s a full-circle moment since my 2023 recap marked when I first locked in with Rokoko. Always putting yourself out there is key—you never know who’s watching 👀 Speaking on a panel at @artsectgallery during LFW was another highlight, as was being featured in a @arte.tv production on digital fashion. That got me feeling like: Mama, I made it into a documentary! A big part of 2024 was dedicating time to learning @unrealengine and integrating it into my workflow. Since then I have already used Unreal for the mainstage visuals and the European 👟 campaign, alongside @itsclo3d & @kitbash3d Leaving my Blender-dominated workflow was intimidating at first, but diving into Unreal was an exciting step forward. Special thanks to @wintermute.studios (as seen here with crowdmeter and speaker visuals) and @marcikola for our great work on the splash! visuals. Also, huge appreciation for @jay.ribas and @con_buch.3d for our sleepless Unreal Engine 👟 nights. I’m incredibly grateful for this space and community. The support means everything—thank you for rocking with me! 🫂 Believe in yourself. You can do this too. In 2025, I want to take on more stage visual work because I love the experience of blending 3D visuals and live concerts. I also plan to direct a personal short film in Unreal Engine, start my YouTube channel for more in-depth content, and keep growing and learning. Yours truly, Blocki What was your fav moment of 2024?

🎤 On stage @future_of_festivals 🇪🇺 The leading festival industry meeting 👉🏻swipe for BTS & insights. In my 360° stage keynote, I shared insights on stage experiences × digital experiences, & how visual storytelling shifts once digital & physical worlds blend. Speaking fully surrounded by the audience meant a lot of circling around & constant eye contact 🔄 👀 I shared insights about: 🎶 Splash! Festival mainstage visuals 👟 Adidas Foot Locker campaign activation 🎧 Spotify x A$AP Rocky “RIOT” visualizer 🎤 Sido & OVO / Roy Woods stage visuals What stood out most was the diversity of perspectives in the room. From technical infrastructure to sustainability & cultural legacy, all focused on how festivals can evolve without losing their identity. Thank you for having me, FOF, and thanks to everyone who listened and shared their thoughts. Big thanks to @rubenkoermer and @luca.drig for filming, and for the great company. 🫂 #festivalproduction #creativeindustry #keynotespeaker #3dartist #digitalartist

Stop Motion by @blockschmidt 🏃🏼 For @the.interline Digital Product Report 2026, Blockschmidt explored dynamic stills through avatar and fabric motion 🗞️ This stop motion reveals the underlying animation of the artwork series, unfolding an urban narrative shaped by gorpcore aesthetics across apparel and avatar. The visuals feature the Blockschmidt MetaHuman, fine-tuned using @substance3dart and powered by @hellorokoko performance capture gear. Garments were crafted and simulated in @itsclo3d via LiveSync 2.0 workflow. Rendered in @unrealengine using Path Tracer ⚙️ #unrealengine #clo3d #metahuman #digitalfashion #3dart

🎤 Speaking + interview @itsclo3d Summit 👉🏻 swipe for BTS, talk + interview clips & highlights from Munich. In my Lightning Talk I shared insights on: 👟 @adidas x @footlockereu Megaride campaign — which I directed, building a 3D trailer in @unrealengine to showcase the sneaker’s futuristic identity. 🌪️ @splashfestival Mainstage visuals — where I digitized the festival’s merch collection in CLO & brought it alive through #MetaHuman animations, showcased on 10m+ Mainstage IMAGs during changeovers & integrated into live shows. This was @itsclo3d biggest European summit so far — packed with industry insights and inspiring people. I linked with the @epicgames team, met incredible 3D artists and picked up fresh perspectives on where digital fashion is heading. Not gonna lie — I was nervous before the talk, squeezing months of work into a 10-minute slot. But the response, questions & energy afterwards made it so worth it 🫂 Grateful to have been there, to share my work, and to connect with so many of you. Big thanks for the invite & warm welcome, CLO 🫂 #closummit #clo3d #unrealengine #3dartist #digitalfashion #createwithclo #3danimation #3dcommunity #ue5 #3dart

Merch to Mainstage by @blockschmidt 🧵🖥️ Merch that wasn’t just worn at the festival — it became part of the show. Using @itsclo3d , Unreal Engine, @hellorokoko mocap gear & MetaHuman, the @splashfestival stage visuals were brought to life with a full CLO x Unreal LiveSync workflow: The animated MetaHuman was sent from Unreal to CLO to simulate the garments, then returned as a USD. Final animations were integrated directly into the live show setup — synced with lighting, live cam feed & real-time VJ triggering on the mainstage. 🎥⚙️ Project Coordination @blockschmidt 3D Animation @blockschmidt @marcikola @wintermute.studios Live VJ @nachtgeschuetz @frischvergiftung 2D Merch Design @bastianwien @niconeuntausend @studiobenski #SplashFestival #CLO3D #UnrealEngine #MetaHuman #UE5

Coachella stage visuals for @glorillapimp 💥 For “Let Her Cook,” I created the flame-engulfed visuals for the Sahara Stage. Worked on a 3D R&D pipeline to capture the song’s raw energy in a visual alley narrative. The final result: a main wall, a header, and a double-LED stair set of fire, blended with beat-synced light flashes. Huge thanks to the team of @wastedpotential for this opportunity 🫂 Production design, creative production, production coordinator, lighting programming, and visuals by @wastedpotential Production coordinator & creative production: @ebmadry Creative director: @coco_gilbert Visuals lead: @mike_lamartina Lighting director: @bdubz_det Media Server Operator: @ayngel323 Special shoutout to @mike_lamartina for the text sync support on those fire visuals, and for bringing me on. 🙏 & @sobeswag for TD light sync support Swipe for BTS, including pixel maps and 3D visualization R&D work. #coachella2025 #coachellaweekend2 #stagedesign #stagevisuals #festivalvisuals #3drender #3danimations #digitalart #3dcommunity #unrealengine #blender3d #3dartist #glorilla #festivalproduction
