Web-sitesystems and brand building

For the second time I had a talk for Norske Kunsthåndverkere (Norwegian Arts and Crafts). This time in Oslo at Sentralen, but had the same talk in Bergen late last year. It’s all about what to be aware of when your starting your web career, making your own site on your own without any designer and coder.

I use Squarespace to create my site, but there’s a lot of different services that does a good job. My message is that it’s just a tool and it’s your design that differentiate your business.

It’s fun to do these talks and a honor to be invited. A lot of great artist at the venue.

Hope it’s possible to do more talks like this.

OSL Window shader

I’m exploring the possibilities of OSL shaders with Arnold Renderer.

These are shaders often written as small helpers across different platforms. It works with Vray, Arnold Renderer, Render Man, Octane and Blender.

In this case you can create a WindowBox, Interior Mapping or Parallax Mapping really fast. You just follow the instructions to create a room with 5 sides a middle ground and front (curtain), and the OSL file it self is added to your c4dtoa shader folder.
