Here is a collection of projects I keep in good memory. 
This kinetic sculpture was an experiment we started as we were given this awesome LED laser fountain elements which were connected as a grid.​ I animated the sphere's choreography in Cinema 4D. To transfer the animation to the real life model, I used a script to export the position data. This was then used to calculate the length of the 3 wires each controlled by a motor. The fountains and lights where then programmed to react in real time, according to the position of the sphere. Here I took the role of the art director. We later shot a few sequences and I edited them to this film.
This is a project from 2016. Together with the electrical engineer we developed a workflow how to export the animation data
​of the icosahedron's choreography to to the complex physical system. 
My favourite project from 2015! Modeling, Texturing, Shading, Blend Shapes were my tasks :D
​
Losing Nemo
(by Mr. Lee). A group of 32 international creatives got together to create this film to support 
​
The Black Fish, a young and rapidly growing marine conservation organisation. The film presents its philosophy
in an immersive and easily understood manner to a global audience. I had the privilege being part of this creative team
by modeling and animating some sea life creatures and the seagull that appears at the very beginning of the film.
​Watch the result.


3D-Software in kreativen Prozessen was the title of a lecture
I was giving on 3D modeling with 3DS Max in winter semester 12/13 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
The special aspect of this module was the collaboration with the Leibnitz-Rechenzentrum who allowed us to make use of their
five-sided projection wall. During the course the students created their own 3D space which at the end was presented to the group in realtime by navigating with a remote and special shutter glasses through the projected virtual reality. The final projects and some teaching material can be found
