Visuals for DJ/Producer Nowa:
May 2024

We have been collaborating with the Cyprus-based producer Nowa for a couple of months now. For the next kit we create, we want to aim for a colorful and more eclectic style. Here are the results.

Documenting Heel of Steel Night
May 2024

I visited Heels of Steel night at @fortynine_linz with my camera.

Blender: Particle System + Letters
April 2024

Wondering how to use motion trailed letter with particle system. Meshed with dynamic background. Bring what is random.

Poster Design: 3D Design for Tangent Event SeriesApril 2024

A2 size, 3D Poster Design for Tangentvol2 event: organized by Tangible Music Lab students. Typography by Lukas Hoffman.

Aimed at creating a visual scenario that will generate an electric sound in the shape of a tangent equation.

February 2024

An Album cover design for Regular Beats.
Tools: Blender, Adobe Photoshop

Documentation: Technoport Events

I was commissioned to document two events at Technoport during my visit to Cyprus. Lovely, friendly crowd. Nice team.

Booklet Design: Sound I’d Like To Wear
January 2024

I designed the program note for the interdisciplinary art class event that took place in Ars Electronica Center Deep Space Center.

Blender: Rigid Body
January 2024

Exploring physics for an upcoming social media project.

Blender: Typographic Ocean Simulation
January 2024

Testing what happens if I assign a typographic JPEG image onto a plane that has a ocean simulation.

Blender: Rigging Eyes
December 2023

I am becoming more and more interested in motion. The YouTube series I found started with rigging the eyes.

Poster: 3D Design

A2 size, 3D Poster Design for Tangent event: organized by Tangible Music Lab students. Typography by Lukas Hoffman.

Blender: animated convex hull
November 2023

I'm learning more about Geometry Nodes. It's quite interesting to cover the entire geometry with a 'convex hull'; however, it doesn't provide elastic movement when animated.

Blender: Geometry Nodes
November 2023 on Cables.GL

Testing transform node.
I just enjoyed the glow ehe.

CloudGenerator2000: Web-Base App
November 2023 on Cables.GL

CloudGenerator2000 is an interactive, web-based application created on Cables.GL for a Creative Coding class. Feel free to test it out.

Go check it now.

Points and Instances: Blender
November 2023

I discovered the tutorials of CrossMind Studio and diving more into geometry nodes.

See the video on my IG

Displacing Geometry: Blender
November 2023

I tested the 'Displacing Geometry' tutorial to turn a grid into a mountainous effect. I edited it in Premiere.

See the video on my IG

Letters on Ceramic: Blender
November 2023

I tested Image texture onto a ceramic material, duplicated the object to get a good old scanner look.

See the video on my IG

Smashing Hearts: Blender
November 2023

Cloth physics, heart, and a compressor. A test after 'It’s Not You, It’s Me, 2023,' to have a reference for the desired animation.

Arduino to Max/MSP to Blender
November 2023

“It’s Not You, It’s Me, 2023”
Draft for an Ongoing Project
Format: Mixed Media/Interactive
Tools: Arduino, Max/Msp, Blender

I’ve been exploring the intersection between sensors and the control of 3D design in Blender. In this project, I’m using detected pulses to control a compressor. My aim is to better understand and research how to incorporate physics into the heart design.

Unreal Engine // in Arucad Libraries for Buffer Fringe
September 2023

I have been working intensively in the Arucad Library Computers in Northern Cyprus. Here are some recent things that I have been working on:

1. Practising Niagara Systems // Interaction
Metahuman to Actor
Texts customized on blender

2. Abstract shaped into Unreal Engine is such a mix!

More to come soon!

Unreal Engine // Metahuman Lipsync Problem
September 2023

LiveLink works properly however couldnt solve the lipsync problem. Possible solutions:

1. NVIDIA Omniverse Audio2face to Unreal Engine 5.2 Metahuman
2. Faceware Portal: I actually really liked the result here is the course for it
2.1. Same person different video

Blender // Max OSC Connection
September 2023

https://github.com/maybites/blender.NodeOSC
Crazy stuff.
Wondering about how to develop Blob Tracker to Blender tool. In which parameters it can be used?

Blender // Photoshop Mockup to Particle System Animation
September 2023

Modeled the ticket on Blender with the referencing tghe mockup, moved with particle system.

For the Card Look for 18x6cm: Bump: Strength o.3 Distance 0.010 + Voronoi Texture 3D, Smooth F1, Euclidean, Scale 120/Smooth1/Random 0

Photography // Testing Flash-Glow Effect in Bristol
August 2023

Hanging around in town. FujiXT3 with 16mm 2.8 + Canon Speedlite 580EX II
Edited to have a (glitter)GLOW(glitter) I made an action.

Remember to add the action here

Daz 3D & Blender // Human Model
August 2023

I saw an Instagram reel about Daz3D. It does worth to explore more. You can export models >>> send it to blender.

Transfering eyes is a bit problematic.
I’d like to see if I can send animated models

PLUS: There is a plug-in for face transfer. looks sick but its not free. ;)

Blender // Typography Projection
August 2023

Idea: Would it work if I project text onto materials to edit the text?

After quick sketch: Def. It works.
Pros: (dramatic) You can spend your entire life exploring this.
Cons: What you see is what you get is problematic for now.

Blender // Video Projection
August 2023

Problem: The audiovisual video quality is too low. How can I utilize it in a dynamic manner?

Solution: I intended to project the video onto an inflatable tube man within Blender to infuse it with dynamism. I discovered that an Image Texture can be applied to the light source (see "CG Matter Tutorial: Create Projectors Fast"). The "Use Node" option is exclusively available in Cycles, and the Texture Mapping needs to be switched from 'UV Map >>> Vector' to 'Normal to Vector'.

Further Ideas: How would it look to animate text?
