From 4 - 15 September 2023, I had again the pleasure of being a guest lecturer at HSLU Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne. The topic was like last year "3D Modelling". It was an intense 2 weeks and I think the students can be very proud of their results - I certainly am :)

From 5 - 16 September 2022, I had the pleasure of being a guest lecturer at HSLU Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Lucerne. I was able to teach the new elective module "3D Modelling". The module was developed by me. The class of about 2 dozen students benefited from my 20 years of experience with the subject. You can get a little insight on Instagram. It was an intense 2 weeks and I think the students can be very proud of their results - I certainly am :)

In 2017, I worked on the project "Harry". Recently, I decided to refine the character and his assets as the original schedule was too tight to create the best possible version of him. As I continue to rethink my workflow and explore new tools and features in ZBrush, I decided to revise Harry and his assets. Stay tuned to see a revamped version of Harry soon. Below is a little teaser:
Currently working on a workflow for implementing ACES in C4D with Redshift.

Today I also played around with the new cloth feautures in Zbrush 2021…. really cool stuff! I guess it’s time for a new character sculpt. So stay tuned!
Sculpting, doodling with the Sculptris Pro feature in ZBrush 2018… very nice to work with.
My interpretation of Homer Simpson. The aim is to do a "living toon" in a funny diorama to print out. The mesh needs a proper retopo. I want to learn blender.. so I decided to go for it with Homer and do retopo and future renderings there. It's still an early stage now...
Last year I worked on several 3D Scans for the WOODVETIA campaign. Yesterday I saw the Spot where I'm featured as "data preparator" (1:57). Well it was a bit more than just import stl-files in ZBrush. Actually I did some important retouches on the Alfred Escher figure that is portrayed in the Spot. I will post some wip-images and renders soon in the Commissioned work area... stay tuned.
The integration of Redshift is well done in C4D! I still need to figure out the bumpmap etc. workflow there.
I like the speed of GPU rendering. Octane is one engine I almost use in a daily basis. No it's time to look at Redshift! I like the way the lights behave in MAYA! Dusty Lights- cool. A few lights in the scene with atmosphere activated. The DOF with bokeh and the chromatic aberration triggered by a picture is really great feature
It was cool to be part of the Fantasy Basel 2015! Below a screencapture from one of three workshops that I held during the event.
A very rough speedsculpt for today:). I just installed the ZB4R7 patch 3 and setup the Keyshot scene for this guy. More to come....
Today, finally I found some time to check the ZBrush to Keyshot bridge. The interaction between ZB and Keyshot works very smooth so far. This is just the applied skinshader inside keyshot. I can't wait to try with the other wip characters I have ... stay tuned:)
RASDAR (wip) getting used to the shaders options and settings ...

- I converted the iges file, prepared some textures and finally explored Keyshot's GUI / functionality
Following some wip creatures that I did during the "Creature Crash Course with Bryan Wynia" that took place from Jul. 28 - 22. Sep. 2014.
Some different approaches (how do the creatures fly? What kind of mechanism do they use?) and proportions:
A stylized character I'm working on. I'm trying new workflows for creating basemeshes (beard). This character is on an early stage...
Two weeks ago I visited the FMX at Stuttgart. Great people, nice conversations at the recruiting hubs and very interesting presentations ( amazing making-of by John Knoll from ILM). I also was very inspired by the "5D Institute; Pipe Dreams" talks. The weather was also very pleasant:)
Last weekend I started a new character called "Rasdar".
I did a rough comp for getting the mood for the final piece. I still want to add several gadgets, fur and other things...
Last November 2013 I had the great opportunity to hold a ZBrush workshop at HSLU Animation in Lucerne (Switzerland). I had a memorable time in teaching the 10 students during two days in ZBrush and giving them lots of advises while they design with that great tool.
Here some impressions:
