Point clouds against crime

Tim Dokter

Artur Tamiola & Bartosz Domiczek

COMMONPOINT

When 3D Meets WTF

Welcome to the bizarre world where AI and 3D create delightful chaos – and occasionally, creative gold.

Bartosz- CommonPoint Co-founder/Architect/Dog Guy

Since Bartosz was a little kid, he’s been obsessed with all things creative. Drawing, designing, you name it – he was all over it. No wonder he ended up as an architect, designing buildings all day long. But even with that fancy degree, he was still not done exploring. And archviz was such a natural choice and the coolest mix of art and his day job he could ever imagine! He even won awards for his amazing archviz creations (how cool is that?). For a while, Bartosz worked as a freelancer for some big-shot companies, but going solo kind of stopped his creative flow. That’s when he joined forces with Artur and is now dedicated to sharing his artistic knowledge with the world.

Artur- CommonPoint Co-founder/Art Director/Cat Guy

Artur’s brain is like a never-ending question machine. He’s gotta know how everything works, inside and out. So naturally, he started poking and prodding things in 3D. This curiosity led him down a wild path – 3D animation, art direction, design, anything and everything. He dabbled in AI, video editing, color grading, and some copywriting skills. Basically, he became a CG ninja. For over 15 years, Artur worked with creative agencies on all sorts of cool stuff – viral commercials, AR apps, educational videos. But then he left it all to create CommonPoint with Bartosz. Now they’re on a mission to keep asking questions and share the awesome knowledge they uncover with everyone.

Vjekoslav Kiraly

RENDERRAM

How to Unlock Self-Worth with Editable Poly

Started 3ds Max career with 3d Studio Max R3, but soon realized (after 20+ years) that loving 3ds Max isn’t gonna pay the bills, loving yourself does. The EUE organizers wanted him to do a technical 3ds Max talk, he went the psychological route, but to comply with the organizers, it’s going to be a self-worth talk with a 3ds Max twist.

Vjekoslav Kiraly is a senior 3ds max artist with a passion for sharing knowledge on his YouTube channel RenderRam.

Carlos Pecino

COLORSPONGE

Rough CGI

Being a CG artist is more than just blending creativity with technical skill — it’s a demanding journey filled with tight deadlines, creative roadblocks, and the relentless pace of evolving technology.

In this presentation, I’ll explore the key role that work ethic and perseverance play in overcoming these challenges while maintaining a healthy mindset. Drawing from my own experiences, I’ll break down my workflow, share real-world obstacles I’ve faced, and reveal the strategies that helped me push through.

This session is designed to equip CG artists with practical tools and inspiration to stay motivated, build resilience, and keep pushing their creative limits — even when the road gets tough.

Carlos Pecino, professionally known as Colorsponge, is a London-based automotive CGI artist with over 15 years of experience in the digital realm. His journey began in architectural visualization, collaborating with studios in Málaga, Spain. Over time, he expanded his expertise to include photography, design, and composition, culminating in the creation of hyper-realistic automotive imagery.

In early 2021, Carlos co-founded Haste, a design studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of photorealism and innovation in automotive design.
