Project: FANGTASM Vol.2 — Underground Event Cinematic & Video Poster
Client/Venue: ://about blank (Berlin)
Overview:
A 46-second full-pipeline 3D motion design teaser and vertical video poster (1080x1920, 60 FPS) built for an underground dark techno event. Moving away from flat 2D promos, the project delivers a gritty industrial dark sci-fi aesthetic featuring a transformable brutalist cube with complex mechanics.
Pipeline & Technical Breakdown:
3D Modeling & Environment: Hard-surface modeling in Cinema 4D (heavy blast doors, rotating multi-gear assemblies, hydraulic valves, copper busbars, and multi-segmented Tesla coils).
Shading & Texturing: Advanced Redshift node networks with procedural weathering, realistic rust, weathered iron, wet cracked asphalt, and TriPlanar concrete mapping.
Python Automation: Custom Python scripts driving procedural high-voltage electrical arcs (lightning), cascading breakdowns, and precise light-flash sync.
Lighting & Rendering: Multi-layered Redshift GPU setup with volumetric fog, skimming/rim lighting, and hardware ray tracing.
Compositing & Sound: Cryptomatte multi-pass compositing in After Effects with custom grading, motion blur, and a synchronized industrial soundscape (metal impacts, machinery screeches, and Tesla discharges).
Tech Stack:
Maxon Cinema 4D, Maxon Redshift, Python, Adobe After Effects.

Surdina (concept) · Concept design – fictional brand. A concept product page for made-up over-ear headphones with active noise cancelling. The brand, price and specs are samples; it is not a client project. Each bead in the room stands for a bit of noise: turn the control ring and the beads settle, starting at the cups. Pick a finish and the whole page changes colour with it. Role: concept, design, motion and front-end code, with AI-assisted tools. Imagery: original 3D renders made in Blender with procedural materials; no stock photos, no AI-generated images. Demo: https://formschwung.com/work/surdina/
