Welcome to ernstrenner.com — where code meets creativity, and curiosity leads the way.

I'm Ernst Renner, a musician, 3D artist, and self-taught developer with a passion for building tools that empower creative professionals.

My work is deeply rooted in open-source values. I share free and premium 3D assets and software projects that are designed to be fast, functional, and artist-friendly. If it’s not useful, I don’t ship it.

What I’m Working On

Blender Extension GUI Preview I’m currently developing a suite of Blender extensions (github) designed to speed up my workflow. Ever since I discovered Blender back in 1999, it’s been my primary 3D suite. What began as curiosity quickly became a lifelong companion in my creative work. Over the years, I’ve built many scripts and custom panels to make the software feel more intuitive and responsive to the way I think and work.

Now, I’m sharing some of those home-grown tools—both as free downloads and as premium assets for those working in architectural visualization and digital design.

I’m also launching a YouTube channel that goes beyond surface-level reviews. I’ll cover the gear and software I use, explain why I use it, and answer questions that many reviewers miss. Expect honest, genuine, detail-rich content from someone who’s been in the trenches—and still is.

About Me

I specialize in web design, graphics development, and programming for artists and creative professionals. My focus is on crafting tools that merge technical precision with artistic freedom—clean, efficient code that feels like an extension of the creative process.

Over the past 25 years, Linux has been my primary environment. These days, I work across macOS and Windows 11 as well, thanks to tools like Chris Titus’s Windows Utility that help me strip away the noise and stay focused.

I’m also navigating a second occurrence of Bell’s Palsy and a persistent left-hand tremor. That means my time at the keyboard is limited—but with the help of AI and a bit of patience, I try to build, write, and share what I can.
