Holger Schönberger has collected numerous years of experience in computer animation and has filled diverse roles within the many realms of digital post-production. In 2003, he started the project study course for animation at the Institute of Animation (Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg). There he first studied to work with real-life camera and lights. Then concentrated on visual effects from set supervision to playout and worked on many projects as a shading/rendering TD (His diploma was Descendants with Whoopie Goldberg). He also continued his work on the render manager Royal Render. Since then he"s also been developing tools, applications and shaders (The Binary Alchemy Shader Collections including volumetrics used in Hollywood features and which now ship with Softimage).
