Skills

Film, motion graphics and 3D art are essential components when it comes to arousing emotions,
whether in the large advertising industry or in small individual businesses.
Personally, I am aiming to confront the viewer with the question - "How is this possible?"

I am a Motion Designer with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design and over 5 years of professional experience in 3D modeling, shading and texturing, as well as 2D and 3D animation. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with almost every major software including Adobe Suite CC, Rhinoceros3d, Cinema 4D, Houdini, render engines like VRay and Otoy Octane and 3rd-party-plugins such as X-Particles, Element3D and Plexus.

Ever since, I have worked both as a freelancer and employee for different agencies, which helped me to expand my knowledge in using industry-relevant tools and software. Due to my freelance work I also had the chance to experiment with different creative techniques and approaches, while managing to finish the projects in time.

Project history

Motion Designer / 3D Artist
Freelancer (Marketing, PR and Design, < 10 employees)

“I believe that film, motion graphics and 3D art are essential components when it comes to arousing emotions, whether in the large advertising industry or in small individual businesses.”

I’m Gregor Zimmermann, a 3D Artist and Motion Designer based in Frankfurt, Germany. For me, a great project is all about storytelling, detail and clarity.

Personally, I am especially attracted to the photorealistic realization of scenes, which confronts the viewer with the question - "How is this possible?" 

Since 2016, I have worked both as a freelancer and employee for different agencies. I have a broad background in using the industry standard tools and software, including the Adobe Suite CC, Cinema 4D, Houdini and Rhino3d. 

Using various render engines like Octane, Redshift or VRay as well as plugins like X-Particles, Plexus and Element3D help me to give my projects the glamorous appearance they deserve.
