My name is Lukas Rafik Mayer and I work as a designer and visual artist in the field of computer graphics and visual effects . What interests me most is translating physical phenomena and patterns in nature to the digital space while using the qualities and movements unique to computer-generated imagery. I'm at home with simulations, procedural modelling and animation as well as lighting and shading. I also enjoy the technical side like render-farm configuration or network planning and optimization.

Things I am enthusiastic about: Houdini (with Arnold, Karma, Octane and Redshift), Nuke, Davinci Resolve, AWS Thinkbox Deadline, Linux (Debian, Mint), Notion, Tailscale, Johann Sebastian Bach.

I've collaborated with studios like Any Given Moment, Area Of Work, CATK, Ditroit, Field.io, Future Deluxe, Studio Amos Fricke, Tendril, Tomorrow Bureau and XK Studio for clients like Apple, Google, IBM, Lacoste, L'Oreal, Meta, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Maybach, Nike and Samsung.
