Artist's Comment
About Me:
I’m a twenty-eight year old creative generalist and art enthusiast currently living in Munich, Germany.
I'm amazed by Blenders features and its excellent community, thus Blender is my tool of choice for 3D work.
About "Sintik:"
Sintik was done as a final project for school. It's a title sequence for a fictional Thriller television series.
Everything was done in Blender with the exception of the two fluid simulations. They were done by my teammate Timo Socher with Houdini – I imported his raw simulation as a image sequence to Blender and rendered it out the same way as the other shots.
All names except the end credits are entirely fictional.
