Fabian Oberhammer, also known as The Dizzy Viper, is a 3D artist from Italy. He works as a freelancer in stage visuals and album covers, is a crypto artist, and also works in his family's travel agency. His field of expertise is scenebuilding and lighting in Cinema 4D and OctaneRender, especially working with fog, neon, and atmosphere. His renders have caught the attention of car companies like Maserati, McLaren, and West Coast Customs, as well as musicians like Excision, Skrillex, and Meek Mill.
It was through music that he found his way into 3D design; while looking for album art for his work, he decided to create his own. For several years now, he has continued to hone his skills and composes renders from start to finish on a daily basis. Thanks to his projects Abandoned Supercar and DRFT, as well as his YouTube tutorials, his popularity in the industry has been constantly growing. The puddles he created are now used by well-renowned figures such as Sarper Baran, Tom Coben, Clint Jones, Corridor Crew, and Mograph.
