Chantal Klingel studied media in the program "Media, Design, and Production" at the University of Offenburg. She completed her practical semester at the company M.A.R.K.13 in Stuttgart, which gave her an initial understanding of how the 3D industry operates. After earning her bachelor's degree in August 2023, Chantal began working as a Junior 3D Artist at the media agency Imagestorm in Ludwigsburg two months later.

During her time at Imagestorm, the agency collaborated with the larger studio Mack Animation, allowing Chantal to be part of the production team for the full CG movie Grand Prix of Europe, which is set to hit cinemas in 2025. Her responsibilities included modeling and texturing props such as furniture and buildings.

In the master's program, Chantal aims to gain experience in the more technical aspects of 3D, including rigging, Unreal Engine, and Python. After graduation, she hopes to have diversified her skills to work as a 3D Generalist in the industry. She looks forward to connecting with fellow students from around the world who share her interests.
