I'm Johannes Lindqvist, a 3D artist and visualisation specialist based in southern Sweden. My background spans freelance visualisation and a role as 3D Developer at IKEA, with projects across furniture, automotive, interiors and products.
Lighting, materials and rendering are at the core of my work, with the technical side running alongside. I develop custom tools, plugins and automated rendering workflows for production, and I've built physical capture rigs for asset creation, including an automated texture scanner, an autonomous HDRI scanner and a photogrammetry scanner.
