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.

I love this image...wondered too about the "front wheels off the track" but I think this is an optical illusion because there is a lot of "train" out front of it's own wheels, perhaps? I love the atmosphere and POV!

Excellent and interesting picture. Quite crisp on the left side and a lot of blur on the right side. Seems almost like two pictures to me, like two sides of a coin. If this was intended, then the idea is brilliant. Anyway, fantastic composition, great steam and wonderful textures.

Fantastic work, Walther! Love the composition and textures here. It's a shame you had to add postwork but I know how difficult it can be to add this effect in certain lighting. Wonderful job!! v
