How I do it
How I do it
To make PLANETKA possible, I’ve mastered a mix of disciplines: 3D modeling and texturing, compositing, Python automation, geospatial data processing, math and data analysis, and cinematic VFX. Every skill helps turn real-world Earth data into visuals that are both accurate and breathtaking.

I’m a Slovakia-based Technical VFX Artist — formerly a math teacher and data analyst — now fully focused on crafting ultra-realistic, cinematic visuals of Earth.
Over the past years, I’ve built a complete planetary rendering system from scratch: from handcrafted textures reaching up to 8 trillion pixels to a fully automated, cinema-grade rendering pipeline.
When I’m not behind the computer, you’ll often find me roaming the European countryside with my dog, studying landscapes and skies, and gathering inspiration for the PLANETKA project.
