I know you are an engineer, when did you decide to go into computer graphics?

I grew up with computer graphics, my first programm I wrote back in 1983 on the TI 99 Basic computer was a walking stickman, 8 pixels high and wide!

1988 I bought my first 3D software for my AMIGA. When I saw computer animations on TV I was afraid to blink with my eyes, I could miss something. Remember Tron, Kraftwerk, the ARD computeranimated turning 1, all these animations where a incitation for me to do it by myself. So as hobby I was studying computer graphics for decades.

As I quit my job as application engineer I got the chance to turn my passion to my new job.
