Oh, I see! One of the characters in your artworks reminded me of Elise. 😃

I'm not sure that this is as cataclysmic as the graphic indicates. Seen in context (over a year), it definitely is a dip, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is the AI bubble bursting.

I certainly think it will happen. I just don't think this is it yet.

Had the pleasure to work with Historisches Museum Basel to create several 3D reconstructions based on late Celtic artifacts from a spectacular find in 2010 in Basel.

The exhibition is titled Treasure Hoards - Hidden, Lost, Found and will remain open until June 2026.

Installation with several late Celtic artifacts being displayed. Three screens show the process of lifting the feature out of the ground, excavating the artifacts from the block, as well as an animation with 3D reconstructions, depicting the original positioning of the objects within the feature, as well as what they might have looked like when they were in use.

TFW your infographic is faulty because the data, that served as a basis, turns out to be bad.

I really want to continue working on this, but other projects are currently taking precedence. I hope I can get back to it in a few weeks, but until then: Here's a little snippet of the animation.

The initial scene is finished. So there are 3 more scenes remaining.

The last few days were busy, but I hope I can get some more work done next week. I definitely want to have the full animation finished before I start my new job in April.

So I did a low-sample test render of the scene before committing to the final animation.

I'll need to adjust the speed of the caustic lighting (seems a tad hectic), as well as tweak the density of the volumetric fog. We should be good after that.

I think I'll be wrapping up the work on this scene today, set up the render, and move on to the next scene. There are a few more tweaks and adjustments I have to make to some of the meshes and keyframing, but by and large I think it's done.
