I helped Neue to create a video to tell about their concept for Dr Greve. They worked Dr Greve to make a new line up of products called Dr Greve Pharma +. Dr Greve is a well known gentle skincare brand sold at Norwegian supermarkets. They saw an opportunity to expand the brand further with a new skincare product range sold exclusively at Norwegian pharmacies.
Learn more about the design and product over at Neue website.
New year, new computer!
After the release of AMD Ryzen Threadripper computer processors the following years, that look really promising on both price and power, I jumped on the wagon and upgraded my system.
My criteria: I wanted it to be as up to date as possible (many programs ended their Windows 7 support). Have the best graphic card that worked great with Arnold renderer GPU version (CUDA cores). Storage that reading and wright really really fast. And a case that can run as silent as possible.
AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper 3970X - 3.7 GHz - 32-cores - 64 threads (CPU)
Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 CPU cooler
be quiet! Silent Base 601 - Black - Cabinet (no glass, no RGB “fanciness”, just a black box)
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64bit
GIGABYTE TRX40 AORUS PRO WIFI - AMD TRX4
Kingston A2000 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 64GB
ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
Noctua NF-A15 PWM - 140 mm - 19 dBA (cool the CPU)
Noctua NF-A14 PWM - 140 mm - 19 dBA (Cabinet fan)
Cooler Master V Series V1000 1000watt
So if you know any of these parts a question would be; why do I cool the system with fans and not a water cooler? I hate noise and after a lot of research I found that there’s a lot of good low noise fans that work as good as a water cooler. And with fans I would not hear the gurgling noise form the water pump.
If there’s anything that could be better is the be quiet! cased. It came with some noisy fans. And with some tinkering in bios, an picking up two Noctua fan, I could cool my system from 95 °C to 85°C at full load over time, with out bugging me and the rest of the office at all. But I think I would like it around 70 °C on full load and need to pick up some more fans and get rid of the be quiet! ones.
The system is blazing fast and stable, a must for me, I don’t want the computer to hold me back in any way when working on a project. And I can’t do any over clocking, since I want it stable for work and not only showing off :P
Cinebench r20 score: 17257 pts!. Many test online has a Cinebench around 16988 pts.
I’m now hoping I’m done with online render farms. The computer is about ten times faster then my 2018 MacBook pro, making it easier to get the rendered images I want.
I did a job for Norsk Kimastiftelse (Norwegian Climate Foundation) about what meat productions climate emission.
This resulted in a video and infographics for their October 2019 report; reduction of meat consumption can cut climate emissions. I developed the script, storyboard and created the content and produced the video. The graphic elements were based on already developed style by Haltenbanken that I supplied with new elements.
I’ve helped Ole Gunnar Gundersen a lot with his music project Subshine.
The music is great and he needed also a great site to show it of.
Here you find the music videos, tour dates and more.
I created a music video for Subshine. One of many I’ve done for him.
You can see the rest of the videos over at the music video section of my site.

Going through old projects and remembered I were a part of this background graphic done for Sixty many years ago, back in 2013.
The screen were 20x2 meter and were a hassle back then.

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.
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.
