I wanted to make a short story game where the choices you make actually change how things play out.

I built the dialogue scenes with pixel art characters and made two meters, Mortal Balance and Clash Pressure, that react to every choice.

I wanted to make my first horror game and learn the basics of Unity along the way.

Together with my friend Markus I built a haunted blacksmith workshop in Unity, where I did the scripting, the lighting and some of the models.

I wanted to make a 3D game with humour, where the hero doesn't really feel like being a hero.

I built the castle area, set up the knight and wrote silly dialogue for the characters you meet, even the trees.

I wanted to make a simple action game where you shoot arrows at enemies that keep coming at you.

I made a low poly forest level, set up the bow and the skeleton enemies with health bars, and added a kill counter and a game over screen.

I wanted to animate fast movement like jumps, vaults and rolls that still looks believable.

I acted out the moves myself, blocked the key poses in Blender and then polished the timing until it flowed.

I wanted to learn how to blend 3D objects into real video so they look like they are really there.

I filmed a short clip, tracked the camera movement in Blender and placed my 3D models into the scene with matching light.

I wanted to recreate Jack Sparrow in Lego style and give him his famous swagger.

I made the minifigure and a Lego sea with ships in Blender, then animated his walk and expressions.

I wanted to make a fun character animation and blend it into a real outdoor shot.

I modeled and rigged the character in Blender, animated him flying and put him over real footage of a lake.

I wanted to animate a long dance and give a simple character personality through motion alone.

I animated the moves one by one, kept the transitions smooth and added camera moves that follow the dancer.

I wanted to learn Geometry Nodes and use them to make a scene build itself.

I set up node trees in Blender that grow the island, the trees and the buildings over time instead of animating every piece by hand.

I wanted to animate a machine with a lot of moving parts that work together.

I rigged the excavator's arm and bucket in Blender and animated it scooping up dirt and loading the truck.

I wanted to get comfortable with rigging and basic movement cycles.

I rigged a zombie character in Blender and animated idle, walk and run cycles that blend into each other.

I wanted to build a whole scene around one object, a fantasy sword.

I added ruins, water, a glowing magic circle and god rays so everything in the scene leads your eye to the sword.

I wanted to model a weapon and show it off in a cool way.

I modeled the daggers in Blender, gave them a glowing material and made a short showcase over a magic circle.

I wanted to work on nature instead of buildings and make a calm winter scene.

I shaped the mountains, added snow, water and snowy pine trees, and lit everything with world lighting.

This was my first environment, so I wanted to learn how to build a full scene instead of one object.

I modeled a classical temple with columns and stairs, added trees, lamps and cars around it and lit it for night.

I wanted to make a detailed scene full of props with strong night lighting.

I put together the bulldozer, the crane, the graffiti walls and a glowing sign in Blender and lit them so they stand out against the starry sky.

I wanted to make a creepy night scene with a strong mood.

I built a graveyard with dead trees, gravestones and a crypt, added a big full moon and placed a robot in the middle as the main character.
