Cruise Liner Visuals ‘look remarkably like the finished vessel’. (Philip Morrell, Magna Carta).
8 months ago Conka 3D were commissioned to produce a number of internal and external visuals of a luxury Thames cruise liner for ship refurbishment company Magna Carta. Conka were able to produce these images using only 2D drawings and some reference images from some luxury trains of the 1920′s.
The completed images were a success and the client was not only able to use them for reference when designing the vessel, they were also used on marketing material to promote the cruise before the refurbishment was complete. The images have also been entered in the Cardiff design awards under the CGI category and Conka are confident they will do well. However the biggest accolade is seeing images of the vessel in its finished state. Putting the photographs side by side with the visuals not only shows the level of realism and detail that Conka are able to achieve but also how the visuals have assisted in the design of the vessel.
Some visuals and photographs of the interior can be seen below, see if you can tell the difference.

The image below shows the exterior at its three stages of development, before the refurbishment, the proposed design and the completed vessel. This not only illustrates how Conka is able to transform images into exactly what the client is looking for but it also shows the number of ways in which visuals can be used. Whether it be for marketing purposes or helping the client to design and ultimately visualise their finished product. 
Now that the refurbishment of the vessel has been completed the cruise liner named ‘The Spirit of Chartwell’ can be seen taking cruises along the Thames.
