I just returned from a quick vacation in Rome, Italia. It's a wonderful city and a historical place. Especially for artists it is such an inspiration. While wondering through the city, I was really amazed by all this wonderful traditional art which survived sometimes over 1000 years! This is all before 3D modeling, Photoshop and 3D printing. This is sweat and blood from many artists over many

this took me almost a week! But now I decided to write my thoughts on Apples big announcement 09/09/14. The world had its eyes on Apple and everybody was waiting for the next big thing. While Apple was presenting in its own special way which we love and know from back in the days where Steve Jobs ran the show. Lot's of things have changed (from my point of view). Where is the perfectionism

Another experiment with Verve! A tree in the middle of the road in the dessert. The have some sort of sketch topic thing in the Verve forum. This one is called the tree of live! I choosed to visualize something green and fresh in the middle of the dessert!. Which also can be a real evil because this tree is in the middle of the road =)...

Over the weekend Pixologic has broadcasted it's ZBrush Summit over the wire for all the community members who were not able to attend it live. It was a well organized and very interesting event with many guests from the industry and an infectious fascination. While 3D Printing was certainly a huge topic the preview of the upcoming ZBrush 4R7 relaese was the major highlight! Pixologic did it

Whow! It has been now over one year since I wrote my last blog post! This sounds like a perfect chance to introduce a very entertaining piece of software called Verve by Taron! Verve is a Fluid Dynamics Painter! So what does this mean. It is basically a special kind of painting Application which has an special mode which let's the software calculate fluids behavior. This is very inspiring

Once in a while I do a blog post to do some kind of film review. I mean I just post my thoughts and observations. I recently found the time to watch The Hobbit. Full of excitement about a new film from Peter Jackson with lots of CGI and a new format called HFR (High Frame Rate - 48 frames/s) I put my 3 D classes on an was ready for the show. Interestingly the movie was recorded completely in 3D

I found a really interesting project over the weekend which really made me blog about it! Kenny Roy started this project to raise some money for his short movie “The little painter”. This was done with a kick-starter.com project. He animated 24 hours live via live stream. It is really entertaining to watch and a very good animation lesson, too! You all should definitely check it out! And

Yesterday, I watched Transformers 3... If you are one of the last ones you haven't heard of it watch the trailers here: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/transformersdarkofthemoon/ First of all I love 3D and I love CGI. That's why I loved this movie! It starts with some flashback from the time when the US first landed on the moon. And to be honest this movie fulfills a lot of

I was having fun a couple of weeks ago, modeling a head. Unfortunately I was not able to finish it yet. I posted progress on twitter and now I thought it would be cool to have a wrap up post … so here we go… still considered as draft…   And a test render… just lights no make up yet =)… Hope I find the time to continue on this… to be continued…   Please feel free to drop a

This is a render I am doing right now in Messiah 3D (currently in Version 3.0) (I am still waiting for my dare2share advantage)... I took focus on the grass and I am almost happy with it.... There are some peaks which are still leaking but ...  You know right now I am more concerned about the goldish material which is not as I want I to be.... take a look at this rendered in

So far it is going great. I do alot of painting latly. I try to get my hand a little more loose and that's why I did a speed painting today... Not so accorate as the others... but I need to get a better flow with the pen and sometimes I think I am way to frightning to draw something wrong or do a wrong line... and it turns out that it is a good feeling just to doodle around... Still a long way to

I am still on the research to improve my painting and sketching skills. Beside wondering through the web for inspiration and tutorials. I am also in the middle of finding the approperiate tool to sketch/paint. I know it comes all down to actual paint but I want at least a tool which supports me, is easy to use, not overloaded with features and has a great response to the pen. Right now I am using
