Welcome to my Website!

Hi, I am Leon

What do I do ?

I am a 3D VFX Artist, who specialized on Rigging and Animation. I know how to build Bipeds and Quadrupeds
skeletons, as well as skinning. Currently I am learning how to integrate Rigs/Animations into Game Engines as well as speeding up my workflow. In Animation, I specialized on Character Animation, but I like to animate anything!

About Me

Hi, I am Leon and I learned 3D VFX & Animation at PIXL VISN Media Arts Academy in Cologne. I love to play video games, and I am highly interested in series and movies with depth. But I also like to go outside enjoying natur, especially in spring and in the summer. After work I usally do sports and I love to cook.

My Location

I grew up in a small town in Germany, near Cologne.
Although I felt at home near the Rhine and my family, I movedto Hannover to work as a 3D-Artist.

Why, I love working in 3D!

Creating 3D scenes and renders is amazing, from the initial planing to the creation. Being able to create your own ideas and visions is the best about working in 3D! I love every aspect of the 3D Pipeline and like, how the different step compliment each other to shape everything into one project. Although I specialized I like the other departments as well from modeling to compositing. Furthermore, I enjoy learning so many things with every project and increase my workflow step by step to become a better artist.
