BIO
Started in 1981 with graphical simulation of industrial robots - part of my studies of math in Stuttgart (Germany). Then, by accident, 1984 Bavaria Film asked me to do computer animations for Enemy Mine (director Wolfgang Peterson, produced in Munich, Germany). That was my start into the more creative part of the business. From there on til 1991 i worked as an animation designer with several sorts of software (BTS FGS 4000, TDI, ...). We did commercial animations but tought students (from the Stuttgart Academy of Art) as well (half-half). After that i had the opportunity to make a move into event and "classical" design business. And there I still am - doing mostly print design in a little agency I am running with some friends. I kept always an eye on the 3D business, but only with the appearance of Vue d'Esprit on Mac i found a sort of way back into 3D graphics. This software for me is the ideal combination of easy-to-use and quality results so it was great fun to work with from the first moment on. Let's see where this all will drift to - who knows.

Very dramatic, my friend. I like the way you can only just make out the buildings in the background. Excellent atmosphere and the fog is great. Keep up the good work:)

Great work Walther, it reminds me some old Sherlock Holmes movies :)

Great mood on it (where's Jack ?). I would just add some depth of field to focuse on the raft.

This is a beauty Walther. Great mood creation and the simplicity of the color scheme works beautifully. A most convincing scene.

Very spooky and atmospheric, Walther...makes me think Jack the Ripper will walk across the bridge any minute; realy excellent foggy feeling.

This could be the St-Charles bridge in Praha ... Reminds me Kafka's 'Castle'. Kafka's house is just between this bridge and the castle on the hill... cool mood ... brrr.... :-)

A wonderfully mysterious and moody atmosphere - gives me the shivers - so it must be perfect for the "Cold 20". :o) CC

This image's got the mood for shure...actually a very gloomy one. ;) Good to hear you got over the uninspiriness. I think this happens to all of us from time to time, so no need to worry. Love the glowing lanterns btw. Well done, Walther!

Fabulous lighting and mood here! I love the foggy atmosphere. I am really happy to see you posting again. Since we don't have a Cold 20, I guess I will just have to vote this one into the Hot 20!

Love the Cold20 idea, personally I'd have it nailed with my vueinf junk. Ah well. This inspires me - the lighting hiting the background roofs is just the touch to draw the eye all the way in to the scene. Excellent work, and a vote for the hot 20.

Nice work, there is something of a dark mood to this scene for me.
