Hello there, I'm Simon, also known as "Voxelmaniac."

For nearly a decade, I worked as a programmer, mainly in web development. While I enjoyed problem-solving, I realized I wanted a more creative direction.

With a passion for movies, I shifted to Visual Effects & Animation, studying at SAE Institute Cologne from 2021 to 2024, where I earned my bachelor's degree. During my studies, I discovered Houdini by SideFX, which allowed me to combine my coding skills with creativity. I’ve been hooked ever since.

These days, I use Houdini almost daily to create FX projects, with the goal of eventually working on major blockbuster films.

On this site you can find some of my projects. If you like what I do, feel free to get in touch using the contact form!

Enjoy your visit!
