I have always been impressed by the pure quantity of technical innovations contributed to software and hardware products in the field of computer generated images. Commercial software packages provide a host of functionality, but some projects still require custom software adjustments or additions to solve specific tasks, ship around limitations or workflow issues. Many of these solutions are programmed for a single project only and development will not continue once it is finished. At times I take these concepts or flesh out an idea from scratch doing private R&D to see how far this technology can be pushed and generalised or combined with other techniques. Here I will show some results of this work.
