About Me
Meiko has always been captivated by 3D software and virtual prototypes. His career started in 2001 as an engineer in the automotive industry, but has evolved tremendously because of his skills an interests. He has since teamed up with an IBM trained business partner as an international business consultant, where he worked within design and development departments of automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering companies around the world.
His experiences and education opened up other doors within Germany in the related fields of Virtual Reality software, Team leadership for sales, visualization and 3D design, all in a 1:1 environment. His strong family ties have most recently compelled him, his father and his sister to establish their our own company specializing in product design, development and production of medical appliances for the healthcare consumer market where they have successfully leveraged Bunkspeed Move since their establishment in 2010.
Q&A
How long have you been using Bunkspeed products?
I have been using Bunkspeed Move since end of 2010.
What did you use before Bunkspeed Move?
Coming from an engineering background I mainly used CAD software like CATIA V5, followed by Autodesk Maya and ICIDO Virtual Reality software.
What do you most enjoy about Bunkspeed Move?
What I enjoy most is photorealism in real-time. Having the ability to see results without wasting time gives us the possibility to present perfect results to our customers within minutes. Getting the question from customers “Is that a photo?” speaks for itself.
How do you light your images?
I began with HDRI studio lights but this technique looked too synthetic and simple. The clean Apple look is kind of boring to me already. Now I always use the same realistic HDRI image that was created using a spherical camera in a modern bathroom. It sounds funny but it works really well for medical appliances like ours.
