Ludwig Schmitz
I build interactive 3D for the web.
Visualizations, experiences and web applications that run in any browser — share a link, and it just works.
What you can commission
Design and engineering in one pair of hands: from the first sketch to a fast, accessible build running on your domain.
-
Data and spatial visualization
Make a dataset, a system or a physical space legible — turn numbers and geometry into something people grasp at a glance.
-
Landing pages and brand experiences
A page people remember and forward, built on real-time 3D instead of another stock video header.
-
Interactive product configurators
Let customers turn, open and specify your product in the browser, and reach checkout already knowing what they are buying.
-
Custom 3D web applications
Where off-the-shelf software stops: purpose-built tools that let people see and work with 3D directly, in the browser.
Satellog
An atmospheric news feed: a satellite orbits a photoreal Earth, and every orbital jump surfaces one live headline as a log entry. Real orbital motion, a day/night terminator and umbra shading drive the scene.
What it demonstrates
- Physically-based lighting and shading
- Custom camera and animation systems
- Live third-party data woven into the scene
- A calm atmosphere carried by light and pacing
Sugarstack
A visually driven nutritional calculator for sugar and calorie amounts. Enter a food item — or a calorie or sugar count — and watch it fall as a physical pile of sugar cubes, donuts or pizzas, so an abstract number turns into something you can see.
What it demonstrates
- Real-time physics simulation
- Instanced rendering at scale
- Interaction design that turns data into intuition
- Food name, typed amount or meal photo as input
Trismegistus
A visualized, interactive etymology dictionary: enter a word and walk it back through its origins, growing a derivation graph across the surface of a 3D sphere. The etymologies come from a validated lookup that cross-checks a language model against a linguistic corpus. Any graph exports to a flat, readable PDF.
What it demonstrates
- Procedural geometry and canvas-to-texture rendering
- LLM integration behind a strict response schema
- Corpus-primary etymology with LLM as fallback
- Client-side PDF generation

Tell me what you are trying to show, and roughly when you need it. A rough idea is enough to start from — you do not need a spec.
I usually reply within a day or two.
