A couple of weeks ago I decided to give CentOS 7 a try as my main OS, the reason why – is because it’s the closest you get to redhat without paying, and I’ve been running everything from Debian to Arch, gentoo and others, but now I wanted a rock solid OS that feels predictable, […]
The current renderer I’m writing a exporter for (and later a proper integration) into blender is Pbrt. The reason why I chose this renderer is because I have the book and I really like the renderer, and having a proper exporter \ integration of this renderer in blender is something a lot of people might […]
I’ve been thinking about it for a long while, and now I’ve decided to invest all my free time into it. I will integrate a renderer with Blender, first as a exporter for the file formats that the renderer uses, then do a better integration later on when that is feature complete. I have ditched […]

Some of you readers might already know I’m the main developer of LuxMax. The current status is very positive, I’ve released several stable versions now and added a lot of new shaders.

These where made during the development of Luxrender 3dsmax plugin. Metal \ Glass IOR Metal \ Glass \ Glossy material Metal \ […]

There is one small issue in blender that I’ve really disliked, and that is the rounded corners on every GUI item. I absolutely hate rounded corners, I like it straight and flat. So today I hunted it down in the source code and fixed it, that’s the beauty of open source – fix it yourself. […]
11 pitches, 6- grade at the crux, note that several pitches are relatively short in length, that’s why there is 11 pitches, and you can easily walk down the trail from the top when done climbing. I’ve been climbing a lot at ‘Trogfjell’ in Åmli in South Norway, I heard about the route from a […]
There is one thing I really missed when switching from 3dsmax to blender, and that was wire-frame on shaded view-port mode. This is one feature I used in 3dsmax all the time, for blender you can get the same by installing this script: http://www.pasteall.org/57345/python If you are new to installing scripts, then create a file, […]
