Welcome to Minning.de V4

Well, it’s been a long time without updates! But I wasn’t idle all this time; for one, it’s just another week until I’ll finally receive my diploma in Media Design. My dessertation on nonphotorealistic rendering was handed in two weeks ago, which left me a little time to update Minning.de’s design and content.
This is a rather large leap in terms of design and functionality and I hope that everything works fine now. Some areas are still a little rough, but that’ll be fixed soon… I just wanted to get the update out before anything gets in the way again.
The whole site is based on a highly customized version of WordPress, unlike my previous site, which incorporated WordPress only in the Production Log. I’m not some kind of XHTML/CSS-zealot and, quite frankly, I couldn’t care less if my code validates or if everything is done the “right” way. For me all that counts is that it just works. So the site’s been tested up and down in various browsers, but bear with me if I missed a bug or two along the way – should you encouter anything weird on your visit, please let me know!

As mentioned above, my dessertation on nonphotorealistic rendering is completed. If all goes well I’ll post some samples of what my renderer Panda is capable of. Let me just say that Panda is suited for a variety of different styles and the resulting look is very painterly.

So now that I’m more or less finished with my studies, I’m looking for a job in the CG industry. Contact me if you’re interested!
