Dave from Stallion Marine in Yandina, Queensland,
wanted to refine the design he had in his head for a new catamaran.
He provided us with some reference drawings
he wanted to work off and modify for his design. Using these
2D cross sections, a few elevations, some hand sketches and
many reference images, we built the entire yacht in 3D CAD over
several stages, including details of the interior architecture,
rigging and fittings.
The ability to rotate and view the model
from all angles allowed Dave to decide if he liked a certain
feature or if he wanted it moved, scaled or reshaped. Many styling
options could be applied, such as shape changes, colour combinations
and even 'racing stripes', before any capital investment in
production was needed.

Most of our communication was via email. We would
regularly send Dave images of our progress which he would mark
up with his comments for us to apply. We produced many iterations
of the yacht until a final design was achieved.
Using photo realistic rendering techniques
and a bit of Photoshop magic we created several high resolution
presentation images to be used as marketing material and produced
high quality prints.
