CONCEPT IMPRESSIONS & VISUALISATIONS

One of the key tools in our design toolbox is the ability to create an impression or visualization, early on in the development process, in various levels of realism, of for example an idea, concept or preliminary design.

A side activity, next to creating a design itself, is the consultation, development and creation of such visuals or impressions of (early) concepts for e.g. evaluation of exterior design, client presentations, to aid in gaining insights in the development process, storyboarding & telling, identity simulations, PR & communication, events, etc.

These visualizations have tremendous added value in enabling evaluation and presentation of concepts in a concrete, almost tangible manner, showcasing it’s potential and key attention points or as basis for further detailing, branding, layout or livery-design for example.

Oftentimes working from a sketch or an early CAD model, and subsequently supplementing missing essential components, and setting up the environment, rendering and post-processing to create a crisp visual.

A small selection of, in this case, various created maritime impressions is shown here to provide an impression of several stages.

Created & Added Components in CAD (SW)

Based on input, the General Arrangement drawings, and references from other ships / components several detailed structural parts were created and integrated into the model before the base render.

Early Keyshot Setup, work in progress status

CAD import, Placement of model in environment, Creation & Attributing Colours, Materials, Finishes (CMF), Lighting, Camera, etc. Initial Branding.
Next steps are completing essential structural components, further set up of lighting, materials etc.

Exterior Impression

After the rendering, adding in additional details such as for instance waves, lights, flags, wear&tear or other, adjustments in levels and environmental elements to complete the impression.
