ADC Bronze Nail 2023

Film & animation, „Helfende Hand" for the BMI

ADC Nomination 2022

Post-production, „Helfende Hand" for the BMI

Art direction included

No brief? No problem.

I develop mood, concept and storyboard before the first image takes shape. Art direction isn't an add-on, it's the starting point.

Designer background

A degree in communication design. Composition, colour theory and visual language aren't improvised, they're trained.

From concept to delivery

Mood boards, scripts, storyboards, final renders: the entire creative process from one source.

Partner, not vendor

You pitch, I think along. Even without a finished brief or in-house design team, we land on solid concepts.

Johannes Grewer
Your direct partner.
My philosophy

Thinking with you, not just delivering.

Behind Z-UP, you'll find me as a designer and 3D artist. A classical design degree as foundation, plus eleven years of hands-on 3D work. Every image is designed, not just rendered. Whether technical feature or lifestyle moment: I make sure the result reflects the quality of your work.

Real craftsmanship

Every image passes through my hands. Digital craft, from the first sketch to the final frame.

Short paths

A direct line to me. No account managers, no phone trees, no briefing chains.

Deadlines as standard

Delivery dates are commitments, not vague promises. If something starts to wobble, you hear it from me in time.

Industrial CGI

CAD data (STEP, IGES, SolidWorks) becomes marketing visuals, films and 3D animations. NDA standard, technically precise.

Product Visualisation

Photorealistic renderings for marketing, e-commerce and sales. Ready to sell before the first prototype exists.

Explainer Film

Complex functions explained in seconds. From script and storyboard to final animation, all from one source, ADC-awarded.

AI Visuals

AI visuals in studio quality. Brief on Monday, visuals on Wednesday. I build around your brand identity, not generic AI.

Translated from German

"Johannes is a top-tier 3D artist in Blender, no fluff, just results. I've used him for several product-focused projects, and every time, he's nailed the brief with speed and precision. He's professional, skilled, and consistently delivers high-quality work. If you want a 3D partner who can elevate your brand visuals without excuses, hire Johannes. I do, and I'll continue to do so."

AI Visuals oder 3D-Rendering: wo die Grenze 2026 wirklich liegt

Alle reden von AI-generierten Bildern. Aber bei Industrieprodukten ist die Frage komplizierter als gedacht. Ein Realitätscheck aus dem Studio.
