...still in productionCappadocia Offroad - Sprinter VS Defender | TRAVELcandies On TourIEDNlab2021-07-03 | Auf unserer Reise durch die Türkei haben wir sehr viele andere Reisende getroffen, so auch Martina, Tobi und Olga von "olgaontour_"
Seitdem verbringen wir jetzt schon ein paar Tage mit den beiden, haben dabei eine Menge Spaß und auch das ein oder andere Abenteuer.
Nachdem wir also mit unseren Freunden Hanna und Memo den bei Göreme liegenden Berg befahren und bewandern wollten, stellte sich heraus, dass der Weg dorthin erheblich einfacher aussah, als gedacht😁.
"Was ein Sprinter kann, kann ein Landy auch", dachte sich wohl Tobi und lud mich einen Tag später auf eine Tour ein, denn auch er wollte mit seinem Lastenesel den Berg erklimmen.
Wer kam weiter, wer gab auf? Das seht ihr in diesem Video 🤗The Redeemer Steam Punk - Steam GunIEDNlab2019-10-03 | This is a private project and was totally fun. The "Redeemer" Steam Gun is a hybrid of a gatling and a flak, powered by steam. It's supposed to be used as one of many props for my steampunk project I'm working on. I didn't have any design, I simply started modeling and once I got a feeling for victorian and other historic styles and forms, the design evolved more and more.
It's modeled in 3D Studio Max, textured in Substance and Max and shaded/rendered in Redshift.
The gun will be fitted onto my Morgan "Redeemer", which is a kitbashed version of my Morgan Roadster.Whitesnake Flesh & Blood Tour 07.07.2019, Palladium KölnIEDNlab2019-07-08 | Some very small snippets of Whitesnakes "Flesh & Blood Tour" with the wonderful and absolutely great David Coverdale.

Warum in die Werkstatt gehen, wenn man sich hunderte von Euros sparen und viele Dinge selber machen kann? Irgendwann fing meine Getriebewanne an zu lecken. Die Silikon-Dichtung der Wanne war hin. Kurzerhand habe ich mir alle Teile besorgt, im Werkstatthandbuch nachgeschlagen und bin in meine Mietwerkstatt gefahren, um diese Arbeiten selber durchzuführen. Auch ohne KFZ-Mechaniker zu sein, benötigt man neben einem Werkstatthandbuch, Ersatzteilen und den Betriebsmitteln nur entsprechendes Werkzeug und ein bisschen technisches Gespür.
Im Zuge des Wechsels der Getriebewannendichtung habe ich auch gleich das Getriebeöl, sowie entsprechende Filter und Dichtungen ausgetauscht.

For this shot, I've used an aerial, which I've shot with my DJI Phantom 3 in the Sierra Alhamila in Andalusia, Spain. I turned the shot into a day-to-night scenary and added some effects and motion graphics with Adobe After Effects.Color Shift Problem With Panasonic GH5 - Black Levels Changing Over TimeIEDNlab2017-05-29 | When shooting Night Time Lapses, I examined color shifts with the GH5, starting at an indefinite frame. From that frame on, the black levels are changing to the worst. These shifts results in greenish to reddish jumps within the time lapse. This problem has been already mentioned by f-stoppers, as they had exactly the same problems with the GH4, years ago (and I also have had these problems with the GH4...and now with the GH5)
Changing all values of a sequence to 128, 128, 128 helps a little bit and reduces these shifts, but they are still slightly visible.PLANAR 2D Auxiliary Heater For Rooftop Tent - JEEP WRANGLERIEDNlab2017-05-15 | This is a very short introduction of my freshly invented "Auxiliary Diesel Heater For My JEEP Wrangler Unlimited".
I've built a pretty simple but effective tailgate rack for a 70 liter aluminumbox, where I installed a PLANAR 2D Diesel heater. The rack (3.8 KG) is made of "item"- aluminum profiles and attached to heavy duty tailgate hinges and the tailgate wheel carrier mount.
The aluminum box ( 4KG) contains the heater module, as well as a 7 liter Diesel tank and all the electronic stuff (approx. 12 KG, incl. Diesel) Power comes from my second battery, the heater takes 1.6Amps at maximum and approx. 1 Amp in standard mode. Two 60mm heater tubes will resist in the tent and will be connected to the heater module in seconds.

Dazu habe ich die in MR benutzte material-library für Redshift umgebaut, um performance-lags oder evtl. bugs/crashes/Renderfehlern vorzubeugen, wenngleich bei mir ca. 50% der MRmats in Redshift problemlos rendern und sogar fast wie das Original aussehen.
Anmerkung: Da die ausgelastete CPU das gesamte System blockiert, hat Redshift das Bild in 3:23 min, anstatt 1:44 min gerendert. Fazit: in diesem Test ist Redshift ca. 94x schneller als Mental Ray. In anderen Tests konnte ich die 75fache Geschwindigkeit ausmachen.
Es handelt sich jeweils um die gleiche Szene mit 6 Mio Polys, einer 10K HDR map (IBL) und ansonsten keine Lichtquellen.

I´ve filmed the backplate with a Panasonic Lumix GH4 in 4K and downgraded to 1080p. The piers and the longboat are CG-Elements, modeled in 3DS Max and composed in After Effects. The original shot has been pretty foggy, therefore I also added CG-fog and wafts of mist.VFX Shot - Medieval Viking Longboats On Nordic FjordIEDNlab2014-10-22 | My first Visual FX shot is finally finished The two backplates I´ve filmed and photographed in 4K with the Panasonic Lumix GH4 (pretty easy ones though....just for practicing;) The 3 boats as well as some parts of the water and the fog-plates are CGI.
Shots filmed in Eikesdalsvatnet, Norway CGI Elements done in 3DS Max and VRay, tracking in Syntheyes and compositing in After Effects.Norway - VFX Shot | CG IntegrationIEDNlab2014-10-03 | This is one of my attempts to enhance my 4K footage with some CG elements. I´ve shot the footage in Norway for the sixth part of my upcoming "Natural Wonders" sequel.
I additionally enhanced the shot with some backplate elements to get a more dramatic scenary.
It´s just a very fast testrender, so there´s still a lot of GI flickering. The viking boat itself isn´t textured very well...it´s a basic shader which still needs some dirt maps, as well as reflection maps etc. (will be added later)
I´ve comped this shot to get a feeling for the details on the boat, which are missing at the moment and I´ve also wanted to know, how complicated it is, to melt CG elements more or less realistically in a cinematographic way, which is way different from what I normally do with all my 3D-stuff:)Timelapse - Trollstigen Norway, Grading Test - Panasonic GH4IEDNlab2014-09-20 | 5 K downscale and flicker-test.
Grading done in After Effects.Natural Wonders - Norway | 4K TeaserIEDNlab2014-09-08 | This is the teaser for the upcoming sixth part of my "Natural Wonders"-sequel, which I´ve shot in Norway in 4K with a Panasonic Lumix GH4.
It´s just supposed to show some small snippets to test the compression by Youtube, as well as occuring bendings and compression artefacts.
The score is precomposed by me and final composed and arranged by my old friend Carles Piles. It´s still a temp-track and not finished right now as later on I wanna mix it with effects in 5.1.
It´ll still take a while until "Natural Wonders - Norway" will be finished, as I´m still searching for the right look and feel and I´m not sure about the grading. Additionally I´m waiting for my new machine for optimizing my 4K workflow and get the job done a little bit faster:)
Hope you like it somehow :) ...enjoy!ALS Icebucket ChallengeIEDNlab2014-08-25 | Raising awareness for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease is important, no matter if in a serious or in a humoristic way. It´s just a matter of getting attention for this disease. Dumping a buckle of freezing cold water over ones head, could simulate somehow, how it feels having ALS.
I´m very thankful for being well and wish, that with all the buckle challenges and the donations the investigations for diagnosing ALS will be enhanced, as well as the quality of the pharmaceuticals will be increased with also generating a better life for the affected people, who are suffering from ALS.Natural Wonders - [elements] HawaiiIEDNlab2014-07-16 | I finally finished the fifth part of my "Natural Wonders"-sequel:
[elements] HAWAII.
In September 2011 my girl and me spent one month on the four Hawaian islands Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. I don´t think, I have to say too much about Hawaii. It´s a fantastic piece on earth with absolutely stunning landscapes, perfect hiking trails, wonderful rainforests and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Nice looking, but bad (much too low) datarate for a shot like this.Panasonic GH4 - Car Mount - Short 4K motionride in NorwayIEDNlab2014-07-01 | This is very short example of some motionrides I did in Norway with my GH4 mounted on my car.
I´m trying to figure out, how a ride like this looks best, what I do need to setup and how I have to treat the material,
Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm/2,8 OIS Olympus Objektiv M.Zuiko digital ED 9-18mm 4.0-5.6 Samyang 7.5mm, f/3.5 Fisheye
I think, I feel most comfortable with the stabilized Panny 12-25, which brought me the best performance, even on bumpy streets. Maybe I need to increase the shutter-speed up to 1/100 or so, to avoid motionblur (can be easily added later).
The Olys job wasn´t nice, even if it´s a fairly good lens, but I´m astonished about the quality of the 8mm Fisheye, which is totally unstabilized, but as it´s tack sharp, I hadn´t so much problems to stab it...
Shot 1 : Panny 12-35mm Shot 2-3: Oly 9-18mm Shot 4 : Panny 12-35mm Shot 5 : Samyang 8mm Fish Shot 5 : Oly 9-18mm
There are different versions of 3:2 viewfinders and some of them didn´t fit at all, but this LCDVF (which I use for my Canon 7D too) covers the screen nicely.
Advantage: super lightweight, 2,75x magnification, soft eye cup, strap and two frames are also in the package. Rockstable Viewfinder (my old one dropped down hundreds of time and it´s still alive:)
Disadvantage: With the display flipped to the inside, the screen won´t fully close anymore, but as I always leave it open, it won´t bother me. And it´s expensive...(for such a piece of plastic and rubber.Panasonic GH4 - Canon EF 70-200 1:4L USM - TestIEDNlab2014-05-21 | I tried the 70-200L with a cheap Quenox adapter on the GH4 just to see, how it´ll perform, apart from that I´ve tested out different ISOs up to 800. Surprisingly, the performance of the Canon lens have been much better than expected and at 200mm (which is "400mm" on the GH4, cuz of Crop 2x) it worked brilliantly.
Anything else above ISO 800 didn´t make sense, as at 800 it began to get noisy.
I´ve sat the GH4 with lens on a 800 gr. Sirui travel tripod (full length) with a Gitzo videohead and even without stabilizer, the video is pretty stable.
This footage has been shot in CineD-Style and it´s ungraded, no effects, filters, denoiser or whatever.
I´ve uploaded this file in Apple ProRest LT (155 MBit/sec)
wuaaaahh...after uploading I noticed that I´ve put ISO 400 for the last clip...that´s wrong....it´s ISO 800....sorry...;)Panasonic GH4 - Clouds Timelapse Over Nuremberg - 4KIEDNlab2014-05-20 | This my very first timelapse shot with a GH4 and the Lumix 35-100@ f.28, ISO 200. Unfortunately I had LOTS of aperture flickering, much more than I used to have with my old 7D, but MSU-Deflicker and VirtualDub did a great job in deflickering ;)Natural Wonders - Grand CanyonIEDNlab2014-05-04 | Finally I finished the 3rd part of my "Natural Wonders" miniMovies.
This time its about the Grand Canyon, one of the most impressing canyons, I´ve ever seen.
I had to spend a huge amount of time for grading each shot extensively as I shot (by accident) with lots of different settings from superflat to highly saturated. So lots of shots got their particular grading as well as a lot of masks which I had to use, to separate the skys from the ground.
This footage showed me again, how bitchy 7D footage can be, if you don´t know exactly what you do.
I did a lot of shots out of a helicopter, but as it is - when you´re beginner - you do a lot of things, you shouldn´t do and of course...I did :D
I tried my best to stabilize some of them, the rest...puhh...I had to put into trash. (Next time I´ll remember that a helicopter has windows;)
Anyway...I hope you like this tiny movie too and if so, feel free to put a "like" on it :)

I designed all the decals and the visual behaviour of my baby on my 3D Workstation and showed the renderings to several Car Wrapping Professionals. The prices differed from "nearly nothing" to much too expensive, until I´ve found the guy from "Autofolierung Crailsheim" (close to my village), who had a decent price and his heart on the right side.
I asked him, if I could take part for making some wraps by my own, he agreed, so we had a lof of fun for several days.
We didn´t disassemble the big Corvette parts, we just loosend the front and rear bumper for getting more space between the edges. Later on I sealed all the edges with a special 3M sealing.
Heaviest part have been the rear bumper, which should get wrapped in one piece and the side mirrors (pain in the ass). We needed several tries, because the wrapping sheets cracked all the time.
We needed r.a. 25m of the 3M scotchprint 1080 sheet (the matte blue one), some smaller pieces of the 3M 3D-DiNoc for the roof and side mirrors.
I´ve started with some smaller pieces like the rear spoiler (which got a rearview camera too), some parts of the dashboard and the center console. At first I wrapped the center console in carbon (like in the movie), but decided later on, to take the much better and brighter looking stainless steel-like sheets (don´t know the name anymore).
Well...after getting more and more experienced I wrapped the roof (super easy), the filler cap, side markers, side mirrors and helped out for the bonnet, doors and the fenders.
All in all the result is pretty much convincing, even if we made some smaller mistakes, which had to be fixed afterwards.
Additionally I let the 4 times european champion Ronald Hau tint my rear window. The result is exceptional and I´ve never seen a better, faster and cheaper result...great thanks again!
To paint the wheels I tried the "Plasti Dip" in matte black and yes...it looked great, has been easy to use and after a year it still looks really fantastic.techVizReel 2013 - Thorsten Kuttig | 3D Artist | AnimatorIEDNlab2013-01-07 | Here´s my latest Visualization Reel with a some of my award winning works.

The "IG gears" aka "Transformers" won the IF communication design award 2009 in the category "animation" and the intermedia-globe GOLD and GRAND Award 2010 by World Media Festival.
I was Lead Animator on this project and animated 4 (of 5) transformations (building, truck, bucket-wheel excavator and the globe) as well as the cameras. I also did the pre-lighting, texturing/shading and editing.
