Naturally, I am doing a lot of 3D work during the game development phase – this includes Modeling, UV-Mapping and Texturing as well as importing the assets into the engine and preparing them for in game use. For my modeling I use Autodesk Maya, for rendering Ambient Occlusion and Normal[…]

PBR-Texturing with Quixel Suite
One of my more recent fields of work is PBR-Texturing with DDO and NDO, both part of the Quixel Suite. Quixel Suite is a combination of programs to create Normal Maps and other Texture Maps for 3D Models based on real-world materials. Instead of creating the various Maps by hand,[…]
User Interface Design
Besides 3D work, I also do a lot of User Interface Design for Games and other applications. This goes from quick Mockups for preview and presentation purposes to fully outlining and defining every interface element, like Windows, Buttons, Grids, Bars, Sliders etc. in all stages of animation and transition for[…]
