JONA MELVIN GROBE
In the wistful twilight of his youth, Melvin, an intrepid explorer of the digital realm, first ventured into the boundless territories of media creation. Armed only with the familial computing device and the rudimentary chisel of Windows Movie Maker, he etched the early scriptures of his journey onto the digital stone tablets known as CD-ROMs. These artifacts, starring his unsuspecting sister, became the precursors to his grand odyssey.
Disillusion struck young Melvin as he grappled with Poser 9, a tool that promised to unlock the gates to digital mastery, yet faltered on the ancient machinery at his disposal. Unbowed, he amassed the coins of his realm over the years, ultimately acquiring his own electronic steed by the age of sixteen.
Upon this steed, he galloped through the verdant fields of Cinema 4D and the mystic lands of Unreal Engine 4, which had generously thrown open its gates to all. Though these worlds offered boundless wonders, Melvin found himself drawn to the sorcery of Photoshop, the alchemy of After Effects, and the storytelling tapestry of Premiere.
Yet, as fate would have it, the call of the third dimension was irresistible. On the eve of his audition for the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Melvin chose to forge a short animation. Not in the flat lands of 2D, but in the voluminous realms of 3D, employing the newly enigmatic powers of Blender. This endeavor birthed CHIPPED, a testament to his journey, and a key that unlocked the gates to the hallowed halls of academia. Thus began the legend of Melvin, chronicled here for those who dare to follow in his digital footsteps.
Throughout this path Melvin became familiar with a variety of programs including

- Blender / Houdini / Maya
- Unreal Engine 4 / Unity
- Substance Painter / Designer / Photoshop
- Davinci Resolve / Premiere
- After Effects / Nuke / Fusion
Cycles / Vray / Redshift / Mantra / Arnold
These experiences also sparked his interest in learning to code with Python or C++ to create games or automate processes.
