Hi guys,

Been working a bit lately with modeling up a couple of products on the sketch board from a couple of designers. A common denominator of the two products is the use of laminated wood that follows a shape, so I've used a UV mapping technique  based on sweeps/mesh from NX (NURBS) in KeyShot to make that happen.

The first one is a chair designed by Carl Andre Nørstebø (first drawing). I decided to swap out the bottom as I felt it didn't fit in with the scandinavian office look I was trying to achieve.

The second one is a gorgeous lamp designed by Fredrik Bostad. You may notice that the lamp shade is slightly changing apppearance from the images, as I was constantly playing around with the values in Cloudy Plastics to get the look that I wanted. I feel I finally made it in the rock scene.

Hope you like it. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any

Hey Magnus,

Iv been following your stuff on Instagram and everything is really amazing. I know you are modelling in NX but do you know of any good tutorials or ways of applying this kind of UV mapping into your workflow from other modelling programs and within keyshot.

Amazing stuff keep it up!

Hey man! Thank you for your kind words. Really appreciate it! I have stumbled across this technique on my own, so I do not know about any good tutorials unfortunately. However, It's in my to-do list to make such a tutorial, and I'll make sure to update you on Instagram when I do. I imagine this technique could be utilized by any CAD-software. If you have any immediate questions, I'd be happy to answer it

Love that rock shot, Magnus!
The shade looks amazing - was it heavy on render time?

Also, you should do a shot with both models in it. It looks like you already have the lamp on the table from the chair scene

Thank you Esben! I'm glad i finally solved that material myself. You have no idea how many hours I've spent tweaking that one, so it was very fulfilling arriving at work today and see it finally being where I wanted it. It render over approx. 16hrs overnight. There was a slight problem with fireflies which "Dust&scratches" in PS took care of

And yes, I thought about that. They would go well together!

Ha, I can only imagine.
Hoped you had found a fast way to make it work, but I guess it just needs time.

Used dust&scratches myself on the rollerblade wheels. It took care of the worst noise.

A UV mapping technique that could be utilized by any CAD-software? I definitely want to know about this! 

And of course... flawless images as always Magnus. As always.

Thanks man! Always happy to read your encouragement I shouldn't make too much promise about the functionality, but it's UV mapping to the extent that one could make textures follow a shape.

Great work, Magnus. The mapped wood turned out real nice. Love the rock scenes too.

[Shaun Wellens]

I had to come and see the high-res images after seeing this posted on IG. Amazing as always brother!

I've gotten this to work in Fusion360. As Magnus said, you need to use NURBS Splines for the features.

Magnus, I love how you have such a consistent style to your images. When can I expect a portfolio website with all your work on it?
