Hello!
Hope you've all had a great 2022 and getting ready for the new year :) Please enjoy this short vlog from Norway where I stumble around in the snow!
Looking back at 2022, I enjoyed making videos (most of the time). It felt a bit rough with all the pressure from the super v...

Hey!!
I've finally made a proper tutorial again, and this time we're making two different rigs in Blender! One is a six-legged creature, and the other is a walking hand creature.

Sharing some of my thoughts from the first day of the Blender conference!
As mentioned in the video, I’ll be joining the blender podcast at 11:30 CEST (but there will also be a VOD which I’ll try and share later)
Let me know if you’re at the conference!

Hello! After some time in the making, I have finally launched my merch!
As many of you know, I am from Norway, where we have a lot of fjords, so I wanted to have some merch inspired by this beautiful view! For example, this 2022-10-23 11:03:26 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello! The glass tutorial is coming in a few days, so I just wanted to record a little thank you for your support while I’ve been working on this video.
Also hope to see some of you on the blender conference next week!

Hello!
I just posted a new video where I'm transforming a cell phone into a walking robot. I have wanted to try this for a while, so I'm very happy with this little animation!

As you might know, I've been exploring hard surface creature modeling, rigging and animating lately, so I thought I'd make a tutorial about the entire process: https://youtu.be/ktXD_WRMY8E

Hello! It's been quite a while.
Hope you're having a nice summer! I have been on a little vacation, but couldn't resist diving deep into kit bashing and rigging! So here is an animated rig I have made this week. It's a six legged mechanical creature with some really cool parts! You can see ...

Hello!
In the latest video, we're recreating a cinematic lighting setup I find myself using quite often. I tend to use it as a starting point for placing shadows in the scene, but it often ends up being the only light sour...

Hello! The latest video just went live, and I am very excited for two reasons:
Firstly, in this video I get to have full creative freedom (with some challenging creative constraints), and it was REALLY fun to create. I had...

In my latest video (part 2 of the robotic arms tutorial) I experimented with some different use cases for the armature. So in this project one of the robotic arms is a bird's head, and two robotic arms are its walking...

Hey guys,
Just wanted to break the silence with a little update!
I have had some time off this holiday and first half of january. I thought I'd be back in business right as soon as 2022 would begin, but for some reason I struggled a bit with finding the rhythm of making videos again. ...

After all the talk about EXR and the advantage of getting all the high dynamic range data out of Blender, I thought I'd make a proper HDR render for the holidays!
The shape consists of ...

Hey guys!
In this video we'll use Blender, Davinci Resolve and DJV to get real time playback of EXR sequences. We'll also get filmic view transform working in both Davinci Resolve and DJV, which makes this a pretty smooth workflow for previewing so much data!
Stick around at the end f...

Hello!
More caustics! At first glance, this can look similar to the previous experiments about caustics in Blender, but this time I've explored a new and simpler workflow. Instead of simulating this procedurally, we'll use video footage of real caustics! Then a simple color ramp can be used...

A sci-fi building and a flying car composited on real footage!
I've worked a few days on this scene, but decided the workflow might end up being too comprehensive for a short tutorial. Therefore I thought it would be great to do a VFX breakdown instead! So if this format works out and is in...

Hello Material Viewers!
I've been experimenting some more with walk cycle rigging in Blender!
I'm very excited about how inverse kinematics can be used to give so much motion to a scene. So this rig is all about controlling the tip of the legs, and then the IK solver just figures out ...

I've been experimenting with some rigging ideas! I'm planning on making a tutorial on the topic, but in the mean time here's an unpolished sneak peek.
