A lot has happened since my last post, I’ve been working on the new exporter every day. I have come a long way, and soon it’ll be ready for beta release. As I wrote in my previous post here I’m rewriting everything in c++, and now I have these things mostly ready. You can download […]
Around 5 years ago I found the game engine ‘Maratis’, I really liked it. It’s easy to use, nice clean editor, nice LUA language support (which I’m used to from maxscript). Very good for prototyping and creating games fast. Back then I then created a exporter for 3dsmax for it, and posted a video of […]
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. The biggest improvement is stability, now you can leave the renders for days without any memory leak or such. Also the new shaders […]
I collected some of my old renders that I’ve done during the development of a render plugin I actively developed for many years. They are test renders of specific features that I implemented. These where made during the development of Luxrender 3dsmax plugin. Metal \ Glass IOR Metal \ Glass \ Glossy material Metal \ […]
I’m one of those people who always complains about social media and how they own your data and such. So I decided to do something about it (besides complain), so now I’ve set up a Diaspora pod that anyone who wants can use. Diaspora is social media, but you own the data, there are no […]
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. […]
