As a computer graphics designer, I am working with creating three-dimensional models, images, animations and real-time graphics, such as virtual reality, representing things that do not yet exist or that are difficult to film or photograph.


I can work in most industries that use 3D graphics in various ways. Typically with product development, by creating and/or refining models of products that have not yet started to be manufactured. I can also do technical visualisations comprehensive for the average eye, or delicate animations work for marketing purposes.

Hi, my name is Albert Åkesson.
I am 39 years old, experienced 3D artist in the automotive industry. I consider myself a generalist with the most of my assignments leaning to VR and real-time graphics. Although I've been doing a lot of classical product visualizations lately, including some interior architecture.

On my spare time I do lot of physical activities, mostly at the gym, yet of course I'm doing lot of computer time too. I'm interested in philosophy, natural science, art history and other things that have to do with psychology and cognition. Typically things to which I have dedicated the main page on Livsfrågor. I also have a passion for computer games and sci-fi/fantasy narratives. I'm genrally not the competitive type when it comes to gaming, which made me realize I love creating real-time scenes just as much as playing them.

Due to shortage of 3D Artists in Kharkiv, Ukraine because of the war, a team at RapidImages had to stand in for production of 3D Assets in the IKEA store. Over a time of six months I teached myself Marvelous Designer to simulate realistic fabrics in 3D. Then re-medelling these objects in 3DS Max to match IKEA's standards for photo realism, UV-mapping and texurizing pillows and duvet covers.

At the same time as I came to this assignment working with VRED. Here I also learned a lot about what they called "Descriptive Studio" making  advanced lighting for cars.
