DICE Track Day

2007-10-01T00:03:00.000+02:00

During our company trip to Gotland we also made a visit to the race track... I love Gotland Ring, too bad the weather was crap though.

Falling behind with the updates again...

2007-09-30T23:57:00.001+02:00

A few weeks ago I participated in a fun race with crap cars. The basic idea is to get a car for 5000 SEK or less (~500 Euros) and race it for five hours. We had the lead for the first two hours... then things went downhill and things started to break. We managed to finish 7th out of 15 cars in the end even though we never crossed the finish line.

New Camera

2007-09-09T14:00:00.000+02:00

Decided to finally get a proper camera so now I'm the owner of a Pentax K10D.

Took some test photos with my Sigma 18-50mm 2,8f lens yesterday.

You can find the photos here: http://www.martinoberg.se/foto/cameratest/

I added a fullres photo straight from the camera here: http://www.martinoberg.se/foto/cameratest/fullres.jpg

Knutstorp track day, 24 hours of karting and Superstage at Emmaboda airfield

2007-09-09T13:47:00.001+02:00

Busy weekends filled with motorsports of all kinds :)

Three weekends in a row started out with a track day at Knutstorp organized by the Swedish endurance racing series SLC.

Photos from that here: http://www.martinoberg.se/foto/knutstorpslc/

Then it was time for a 24 hour kart race, really cool experience to race karts during the night stint. Took a few days to recover from it all though.

Some photos here, didn't have energy to take more photos... http://www.martinoberg.se/foto/gokart/

Then it was time for me to try the slalom course at Emmaboda airfield (just 40km from my parents house) The nice thing about this is that it's a permanent course so you can compare times with other drivers who have been there. I managed a 1.33.03 compared to Sebastian's RX-7 time last year which was 1.25.xx, but he's got twice my horsepower :)

There Gokkan.. now I made a post again ;)

Got the taste for taking photos with a proper camera this weekend so I'll probably buy my own very soon. Used a borrowed one in this case.

Renders renders...

2006-10-16T01:02:00.000+02:00

Just playing around with the wheel model for the BMW.

Starting up...

2006-10-15T01:16:00.000+02:00

Wohoo.. the first real post :)

The plan for this blog is.. ah wait I have no plan, Mattias forced me to do it! Seriously, what you will find here will mostly be focused around my personal 3d artwork but I might post other things as well such as photos or news on what's going on with other hobbies I have (track day driving for example)

As a start I will try to finish this BMW M3 race car I started last year about a month before I got a job at one of Sweden's game development studios. The car was originally made for Schwedenkreuz Motorsport to use as a display for potential sponsorships. I decided to make some extra detail for portfolio purposes. I more or less stopped working on it when I got the new job, made a few liveries for it but I probably can't show them here since I think Schwedenkreuz like to keep them confidential.

There's still quite a lot of work to be done on the car to call it finished. It needs some kind of interior, proper textures for the lights (front and rear) brakes and brake discs, details such as hood pins, windshield wipers and some kind of livery so it actually looks like the race car it is.

I also have some links to other stuff I've worked or am working on in the menu (gallery) and a photo gallery as well, check them out.

When you're done reading and watching the little that is here yet I suggest you go over to Mattias Inks and check out the drawings that come from his twisted mind (where does he come up with all this stuff?!)
