The force behind Royal render
Binary Alchemy is driven to develop tools that make artist's work easier. The tools should take over the work without taking over control.
Open new doors for artistic freedom. Binary Alchemy was founded 2003 by Holger Schönberger.
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 concentrated on visual effects from set supervision to playout and worked on many projects as a shading/rendering TD. He also continued his work on Royal Render.
Since then he’s also been developing tools, applications and shaders (including volumetrics featured in Hollywood features and commercials and which now ship with Softimage 7.0).
Royal Render was developed with support of the Institute of Animation, Visual Effects and digital Postproduction (Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg).
