While digging through my files to update my portfolio, i found some old projects and sketches i never posted or even finished. So here is a dump!
1. Lighting and Material Study 🐸 no rigging, not a single weight hast been painted, its pure shapekeys (cycles)
2. Procedural Crystal Generator in blenders Geo Nodes, followed the CGMatter tutorial (octane)
3. Bialetti Hard Surface Exercise + playing around with materials, lighting & animation (cycles)
4. Material study of some cups we have at home (octane)
5. Trying to sell a sense of scale with a waterfall (houdini & octane)
6. Listening to @silverwingvfx soothing voice and following his diamond modeling tutorial (octane)
7. Putting the diamonds to good use
Which slide is your favorite? Tell me!

Ever wondered what frustum culling looks like from another pov? Wonder no more!
Scene from recent work together with @zehn_achtzig for @saintwhoo , directed by the one and only @keingarten crew

Fresh off the press, new artwork for @mahagonifestival !
Played around with MOPs for this and i love them, very intuitive to use.

At the beginning of september i hit the one year mark of freelancing 🥳
So for this occasion i made myself a little birthday candle. I couldn't have imagined my first year going any better, and am forever grateful to the @keingarten team for their repeated trust and getting my into this industry👊🏻 This is still just the beginning for me but i'm really looking forward to whats more to come. But for the foreseeable future i'll focus on my bachelors degree!
Candle Setup breakdown:
- Wick Trim and glow driven by "totalburn" and "temperature" attributes from a pyro source spread
- melting wax is a flip sim where the viscosity is driven by the temperature and proximity of the wick, setup courtesy of @therealentagma
- fire and smoke simulated with @theory_accelerated axiom, used the attributes from the wicks tip as the source
- sparks are simple pop sims, one layer is just shooting out of the wick fibers, the other one are smaller particles advected by the smoke sims velocity field

thankful for this trip and that this music got light from time to time
a warm thank you for the motion graphics addition for ‘Three Blinks’ to @d.enghel

That little jittery tuft of grass is me monday morning, waiting for a client go after having too much coffee🧍🏻♂️
Quick grass flow animation i did for a client last week, heavily inspired by a piece of @delalsasha . Just a simple viscous Flip fluid setup in houdini with some plants instanced on the points.

A little palette cleanser in between 🍽:
After our creative week in Italy with @fakultaet.design , I was reminded that even in highly technical creative fields like 3D animation, it's sometimes best to just play around and see where things go.
So I spent an evening exploring Blender’s Geometry Nodes with no clear goal—just two intentions: to get something interesting out of the “Accumulate Fields” node, and to land somewhere in the ballpark of @lueyyys works!
I'm really happy with the result—and especially with the process leading to it. It reminded me that beneath all the technical details, theory, and the countless hours spent trying to make sense of things, CGI is still an act of creation—driven by intuition and the pursuit of beauty.

Latest and final one for @mahagonifestival !
Here are some WIPs and stills i wanted to share. Was a lot of fun to pick different approaches for every reel according to the artists each one presented. And i'm very happy with the results of this season! Thanks for having me🌞 creative direction by @dieapparatur 🤝🏻

Spent the last week with @fakultaet.design and lots of lovely people in italy 🌞 of course we weren't there only to rest but to create, so i played around with some photogrammetry and processed my scans into these cute fluffy renderings 🌸

For the Armed Angels x Wikipedia collab i indulged myself in some gooey honey sims. That faced me with two main challenges to achieve something that actually looks like honey and not just any viscous fluid: shear thinning and stretchy bubbles.
1. Shear thinning (=decreasing viscosity at higher shear rates): pretty easy, as i set up the whole sim on dop level i just used a pop wrangle to remap the current velocity to the viscosity and tweaked the values until it felt right (shoutout to @therealentagma for the "melting things" setup, it was basically the same vex code but i used the velocity instead of the temperature as the defining factor)
2. Stretchy bubbles: more tricky, but i found a hacky setup. I added a custom sop solver at dop level, in which i picked a few random particles that were just spawned by the emitter, selected a circular region around them and marked them with an attribute. Back on sop level i could isolate and mesh them seperately using that attribute. As they were part of the fluid sim, they deformed accordingly, and started to stretch out as they moved along collission geometry
Done together with the lovely @keingarten

Digged up deep from the story archives, but wanted to also share it in my feed 🦦 was a relaxing evening project while watching a movie, and a good opportunity for a composition and light study. Modeled and composited in blender, rendered with octane
