Hello there!I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
Finally heard back from a support request I sent in January. About time. That’s a six or seven weeks response time.
When you run out of of two spools in one print.
Also der Rheinmetall Beitrag in den Tagesthemen vom 26.02.26 war ja wohl eher eine Werbesendung als ein ernsthafter Tagesthemen-Bericht. cc @tagesschau@ard.social
3D printing a tiny rose for my wife’s birthday. I set up two with differently settings so I can pick the one that comes out nicer. I’ve also got some mini paint at the ready to finish it off.
I started listening to a couple of days ago: Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson 📚
It feels good to be back.
3d printing is addictive. I got my printer on Thursday and it’s been running non-stop except nights.
I’m playing with how far I can push Cursor AI to build an iOS app. 2 views down and it worked great. Still all basic stuff, but works nicely. On the third view it fell over though. I had a calendar on the left and the day’s data on the right. Cursor couldn’t get the data to update based on the date.
I just clicked erase and install fresh on our iMac. Soon it will be ready for re-sale.
My new Mac mini arrived yesterday. I haven’t had time to set it up yet. So instead I spent the evening reading up on what has changed in macOS since OS X 10.11, which is the last version my old iMac ran.
I think I figured out what I don’t like about Tapestry. It makes me scroll up. So I’m scrolling past the whole articles from the bottom and if I want to read it I have to scroll down again. And then when I’m finished with an article I have to scroll up past it again. That’s a whole lot of back and forth.
Testing out Tapestry. I’m still not sure the combined timeline is for me.
After about two years of sitting in the closet, I finally reconnected my Promise Pegasus R6. It is now running a hardware check across six 2TB disks. It’s going to take a while.
I’m taking a deep dive into 3D printing to prepare for a Bambulab printer we are going to get in a few weeks. Fun topic.

Gut gemacht Herr Merz. Seele der CDU. Zum ersten…zum zweiten…zum dritten…und verkauft!
Neat. I just heard that „The Seed of the Sacred Fig“ got an Oscar nomination. I did some VFX work on that.
Somehow the ones that complain the loudest about being labeled are the ones that have the least problems labeling people left and right.
Beware of having an opinion on the Internet. They will come. They will find you. And you will be chastised for not aligning with their opinion. All in the name of freedom and openness, of course.
Real rich. Claiming the moral high ground by calling someone a Nazi. Not only are you cheapening what happened in WW2. It’s just plain dumb.
I’m thinking about getting a Mac mini M4 16GB RAM. I was wondering how well it will handle 3D rendering, VFX compositing and coding/compiling. I mean sure, more RAM, CPU and GPU is always better, but money is a bit tight right now and that machine looks very tempting for that price point (€699).
