Moin — I’m Carsten Böhnert, aka eyelovemotion, a 3D generalist and motion graphics artist from Hamburg with a strong focus on fluid simulations and particle simulations. I work with post-production houses, film production companies and advertising agencies – from CGI and CGI integration to motion graphics. If it can be animated in 2D or 3D, I can make it happen.
