My entry for @RikOostenbroek’s contest. For this submission, I harnessed Blender 3D’s Geometry Nodes to procedurally populate, rotate, and color thousands of dots at varying scales and frequencies, using custom attributes to achieve striking contrast and depth. It was a truly fun challenge, and I was honored to receive praise from Rik Oostenbroek—an acclaimed artist who’s worked with Porsche, Apple, Taylor Swift, Swatch, Nike, BMW, AT&T, and more.

Designing BMX pump tracks is one of my core specialties, and I’ve long wanted to create a procedural modeling asset for them—since most tracks share common parameters, with only the layout varying. Learning Houdini was an option, but mastering it to the level I needed would have taken too long, especially given my limited use of procedural tools elsewhere. Then Blender 3D introduced Geometry Nodes—my go-to modeling environment—and I immediately dove into experiments to learn its principles and capabilities. I focused on building precision arcs to define turn forms and, thanks to a suggestion from my colleague Emīls Geršinskis-Ješinskis, drew inspiration from Dimitris Ladopoulos’s generative shapes (see: https://lnkd.in/d6haapdf). Recreating that “shapes around centers” method was challenging and brain-stretching, but after about a week of intense tweaking, I succeeded. Now I can procedurally generate fully controllable pump-track turns with greater accuracy and speed—bringing me a huge step closer to my ultimate goal.

#AirTaxi #ElectricFlight #eVTOL #UrbanAirMobility #FutureOfMobility The industry is buzzing with concepts for flying regional electric taxis, passenger drones and vertiports—but almost none include a gliding capability. Even serious players like Airbus, NASA and Embraer haven’t addressed it. My concept adds an automated gliding mode to eVTOL air taxis, boosting energy efficiency, offering a runway-landing fallback, and providing a true “dead-stick” safety option if power is lost. Vertical takeoff still happens from rooftops, helipads or dedicated air-taxi pads, but the glide feature extends range and saves lives. If you’re in aviation R&D or operations and want to help develop this idea, let’s connect! More visuals and refinements coming soon.

Here’s one of several pump‐track concepts I co-designed and rendered for a track-building client—note that the built version on site differs slightly from this visualization.

A Short video to demonstrate some of motion related work done in the past. Some are budget, some are ASAP, some just to provide the idea. No of them are Hollywood level, just because most of my clients need fast, optimal solutions – good looking, but without wasting too many resources.

The potential client wished to see my vision for simple, yet artistic, futuristic, organic demonstration stand for a new TV model which can be placed by the wall. This idea did not materialise, but I’ve got the client.

Visual advertising manufacturer “Kvikworks” got order to make 6 olympic torches for 6 major Latvian cities. This is the sketch they were provided As company usually makes extracted logos and typography from 2D vector designs, they needed someone to help with such 3D shaped and curved design. I was asked to make real scale 3d model and make optimized shape with sharp edges. I should also make model and drawings for a framework on which metallic shell will be welded on and models of the flames. I also made special texture for flames. And that’s how result looks like. Always awesome feeling to see designed and modelled object in real world. And here some article about first installed torch in city of Ventspils.

I did this design in some design competition for real product. Surprisingly for me, I was nominated between leaders and went through to final round. But in result I did not win, although I think that the work is good enough to show out.

This is my entry for small competition of drone cover designs. So I decided to make semi-organic, somewhat agressive, but aerodinamic shape for drone. I provided cover with special cockpit for onboard camera and easy opening door for camera placing as well as battery changing and charging.
