Lichtung VR

In lichtung, an interactive vr experience, you enter a dormant world that slowly awakens piece by piece through your interactions.


I had the pleassure of being the technical director of this project during my studies at the Animationsinstitut Filmakademie Baden-Würtemberg.


I wrote two blog articles about the custom lighting system and Normal Map Generation in Houdini


A particular highlight was having the game selected for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.

Huge Thanks to the coreteam who made this a special experience I’ll never forget.
Loved working with you all!
