CORE SKILLS/SERVICES

SKETCHING & CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Initial sketches are often developed on paper, and then further detailed using Wacom screens with photoshop. Jonas is an avid sketcher and loves to style, refine and search for an objects optimal proportions, graphics and lines. Everything starts with a sketch, so Jonas consider this stage to be critical and foundational for a succesful project.

 

Typical tools: Ballpoint pen/Pencils/Photoshop ​

GENERAL ARRANGEMENT AND SPACE PLANNING

Jonas has extensive experience developing General Arrangement plans ranging from smaller craft to large cruise ships. He has developed an uniqe approach using Sketchup in combination with Rhinoceros to develop sophisticated 3D color GA’s that are highly flexible, fast to bulild and easy to adjust and modify.

 

Typical Tools: Sketchup/Rhino/Photoshop

 

3D MODELLING & RENDERING

Jonas can build detailed 3D models in both Rhinoceros and Sketchup for fast internal reviews and client presentations. Different rendering software are applied depending on the situation, but Vray and Lumion are the most commonly used as a base. A combination of Photoshop and Google Gemini is used for effects like wakes and backdrops.

 

Typical Tools: Sketchup/Rhino/Vray/Lumion/Photoshop

WORKING DRAWINGS

When the conceptural design phase has solidified, Jonas can efficiently translate his work to a more precise, 2D Autocad format. This makes it easier for engineers and technical teams to take the design intent from Idea to buildable reality.  

 

Typical Tools: Rhino/Autocad ​
