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.
It looks me like people aren’t bothered by the approaching weather.
So there is a strong thunderstorm warning for tonight at 6pm, exactly when tonight’s festivities are supposed to start. Let’s see how that goes…
Geinsheim’s 1250 years anniversary starts tonight at 6pm. Be there!
Love me some AI Generators for Foundry VTT
I am having way too much fun building out my Foundry VTT world with AI tools. Lots of Theatre of the Mind images with the help of MidJourney, ElevenLabs voices provide narration, and now I have a singing bard thanks to suno.
I cannot wait for my players to experience it all.
Heute Mittag gibt’s Melonensalat
Thanks MidJourney. I could chill out there today.
Another hot day today. 30°C and almost 80% humidity. This is going to be fun…
I just ran my first proper D&D session. It was chaotic. I did a decently poor job. And the players had great fun and I loved it.
Over three hours in the ER. And all that for a bandage. Sigh.
At the emergency room once again. Life with kids. What can I say? I guess once a year is the tradition in our household.
Back home and knackered. It was a great concert. The kids were great. All six thousand of them. :)
At SAP Arena for the 6K United concert. Our boy is among those 6K.

Spielplatz-Fest in Geinsheim
In town, sitting in the shade enjoying the rather quiet street while sipping my peppermint tea.
Foundry VTT Update
Almost done converting the “The Lost Mine of Phandelver” campaign into a Foundry VTT Game World. ✔️ Maps loaded in. ✔️ Walls and doors drawn ✔️ Enemies and other NPCs placed on map (shoutout to AI Monster Importer) ✔️ Imported the whole campaign text into Journals ✔️ Convert all “read to the group” text into audio narration with the help of ElevenLabs’ voice “John Doe - Intimate”
Still to be done:
- Getting familiar with a few add-modules to make playtime smoother
- Search out appropriate music and ambience sounds
Wow. ICQ was still around?? ICQ is shutting down
Foundry VTT and AI Voices via ElevenLabs
I recently discovered Foundry VTT as a way to play role playing games with my friends from all over there the world.
I have spent a few days transferring a D&D campaign to digital format and it is coming together just greatly. Great maps with flickering lights, atmospheric background music.
And I even found a way to have all the story hooks being read by a great AI narrator via ElevenLabs. They have a great Michael Kramer like voice (John Doe - Intimate) and I was able to get the whole campaign vocalized for just €5.
