   I am sitting here in my new favorite café/restaurant in Berlin, the Rebellion des Zimtsterns ¹ and wait for the dish of the day. I really need a break from the inconvenient truth I have learned a few minutes ago. If you read on there’s also a short tutorial on a possible wire removal workflow. Skip it, if you already know it.

   EDIT: Of course I couldn’t finish this lengthy post in one lunch break so I posted it the next morning.

   I just came home from watching “The Dark Knight” in the UCI Colosseum in Berlin and I have to say: What a bunchload of crap! Really? No, of course not! This movie actually seems to me as one of the best super hero movies there can be — with a sophisticated story off the beaten tracks while staying true with the fans. Read on.

   Working on bigger projects with people in remote places always is a hassle. Today ¹ I received the long anticipated hard disk with the blue screen shots I should be working on. I popped it into the USB port but Windows thought the device was damaged and suggested to replace it. Luckily I remembered that the person who sent me the disk was a Mac user so I tried connecting the device on some Mac and it worked. Then my data-odyssey began…

   Currently the fmx, the Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Digital Media, resides for the 13th time in Stuttgart. Big woo because this year I’m among the participants.

   This Saturday was a big day for me: My first Visual Effects supervision job apart from anything related to my education. Magic Movie hired me for the visual effects to their documentary for national TV which will be aired some time in fall. I can’t tell you about the story (because I’ve signed a non-disclosure contract) but I can tell you about my day.

   Call me flip-floppy but today I like Steam better than the day before. Because it works again and likes to display my custom models. Like the one out of three airplanes I modeled for S&P Simulations some months ago.

   Call me flip-floppy but today I like Steam better than the day before. Because it works again and likes to display my custom models. Like the one out of three airplanes I modeled for S&P Simulations some months ago. The worst part is having the textures and the Phong-shading look right. Somewhat. And also tough ...

   Haven’t blogged in frickin’ ages! Currently I am in Berlin, photographing for Dropping Knowledge together with Lisa. A lot has happened. I will post an update, some photos and stuff as soon as I have the time to. Doesn’t sound promising, huh? Eventually I really do it.

   Last Wednesday afternoon I got a call from the Salzburg student home administration to move out by Friday 11am which meant more or less a catastrophe for me: My room was sooo cluttered and stuffed with electronics that it would be next to the impossible to get everything out by Friday. And to make things worse: Our rendering project Codename: Windshield that had started in December 2006 also needed to be finished by Friday.

    Today was one of the days you won’t forget. But what was the essence of this day, the overall theme of its uniqueness? Experience I say, in many ways.

    If you want to read about Stefan Sagmeister, a sudden incident and a cat, sacrifice ten minutes of your precious time and read on.
