In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Fabian Oberhammer — a self-taught 3D artist, Instagram creator with over 180K followers, and the mind behind over 3,000 consecutive daily renders. Fabian opens up about the turning point in 2022 when his viral car render project catapulted him into the digital spotlight. He talks about his journey through creative burnout, how working in a traditional studio drained his passion for 3D, and why taking over his family’s boutique hotel in Northern Italy was a move that saved both his mental and artistic well-being. From rendering hypercars for West Coast Customs to using AI tools like Magnific to elevate his work, Fabian shares how he’s navigating the future of CGI with authenticity and heart.

More than just a conversation about software and scenes, this episode dives deep into the balance between art and life. Fabian discusses how having a stable, real-world job gives him the freedom to say no to uninspiring clients and protect the love he has for digital art. We also explore his vision of transforming his hotel into an artist residency, his thoughts on AI-generated art, and the difference between going viral for attention versus building lasting creative value. Whether you're a 3D artist, entrepreneur, or someone looking to rekindle your passion, Fabian's story is a powerful blueprint for building a career on your own terms.
