- **3D Art & CGI:** Hard-Surface, Sculpting, Retopology, Animation, Lighting, AAA Look-Dev
- **Technical Art & Shaders:** PBR, Shader Graph, Custom Shaders, Blender Python, Unity/Unreal, Media Integration
- **Realtime & XR:** Unity, C#, VR/AR, e-Learning, Environments, WebGL, glTF/USD
- **Reconstruction & Scans:** Photogrammetry, Scan-to-Asset, Mesh Cleanup, LOD Generation
- **AI & Automation:** Cursor, Agentic Workflows, VBA/CATScript, Pipeline Optimization

## Services

### 1. Reverse Engineering & Precision CAD
Scan/Mesh → aerospace-grade NURBS. CATIA GSD, Geomagic DesignX, Plasticity — precision surfaces and digital twins.

### 2. 3D Art, Modeling & AAA Look-Dev
Hard-Surface, Sculpting, Retopology, Lighting — visually compelling assets for film, games, and CGI.
Portfolio: [Viking Axe](/portfolio/viking-axe)

### 3. Photogrammetry & 3D Reconstruction
Scientific scans and photogrammetry → production-ready assets. Mesh repair, UVs, retopology — art foundry to realtime.
Portfolio: [Villa Hügel AR](/portfolio/villa-hugel)

### 4. Realtime, VR/AR & e-Learning
Unity, C#, environments, interaction. VR/AR prototyping, level design, WebGL — from concept to deployable experience.

### 5. CAD Data → Performant Realtime
Reduce and optimize STEP/NURBS for engine-ready delivery. Bridge engineering ↔ realtime — glTF/USD, LODs, WebGPU-ready.

### 6. Technical Art & Shader Development
PBR, Shader Graph, Amplify, custom shaders. Substance, scan-based materials — look-dev for realtime, film, and web.

### 7. Additive Manufacturing & AI Pipelines
SLS/FDM-ready preparation plus agentic workflows (Cursor, ComfyUI) and CAD automation (VBA/CATScript).
