I helped Stacc creating a show reel. They work in Banking, and other systems and are basicly only screen based. I came up with a concept to work with called; all the screens. Screens can be really static and I had to make that interesting and different. This ended up with many different devices floating around in a red Stacc void showing some of their solutions.

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’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.

Another project I’ve done with Metric
Metric is one of the masters of packaging in Norway, and this time is for a Organic Wine Spritzer.
“Oslow is a lightly sparkling spritzer. It pairs organic Italian white wine with organic fruit juice. Developed by Arcus Wine Brands.”

The music video I made for Subshine has fond it’s way onto Billboard Sound website. That’s really cool and I hope more people hear Ole’s music.

I came over a problem with the Arnold Hair. You can see in the picture that the hair doesn't pick up the color from the texture, and as usual it's an easy fix.
You add an Arnold Tag, and tick the Export UVs. In the hair material you add your texture to the standard hair shader.
Good luck!
Poliigon has started creating fabric textures with Object ID maps. They add a more convincing look on your fabric, and they are really easy to create your self. In Arnold render you can connect these to the coat layer in standard surface and I really like the result that gives.
I show how I used it to create a wool material for a Hiroshima Chair by Naoto Fukasawa.
If you have a material suggestion, write it in the comments :)

I've just posted a fan 3d render of the Hiroshima Arm Chair.
