Tobias Wüstefeld is a Hamburg-based 3D & XR media artist, motion director, and illustrator. His work spans CGI films and stills, science visualization, real-time and interactive experiences, and physical-digital installations. He combines hard-surface modeling, procedural workflows, and simulation with photogrammetry and VR-based sketching and sculpting; when needed, he develops bespoke tools and scripts.
Since 2014 he has taught across universities and festivals—most recently at HAW Hamburg (2019–2023) with courses in Blender/Grease Pencil, TVPaint, motion design, and collaborative projects. Guest teaching includes Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (VR), KISD – TH Köln (Motion Experience Lab), Münster School of Design (After Effects, stop motion), and workshops from Milan (DDD-OFFF) to Minsk and Berlin. Earlier he served as research associate at HAW Hamburg (Illustration/After Effects).
Tobias is part of the AI Taskforce of the German Illustrators Organization (since 2022) and speaks regularly on XR, CGI, and creative technology—from Cologne Game Lab and University of Europe for Applied Sciences to book fairs and film festivals. Collaborations include research and industry partners such as Stanford University, EMBL, European XFEL, Nature, Science, Mayo Clinic, and brands from Audi and Clariant to Funny Frisch and Signal Iduna.
He enjoys close collaboration and leads modular teams to deliver projects at scale.
