3D Visualization for Vessel Concepts
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Overview
We are seeking naval architects / marine designers / 3D visualization artists to develop high-quality and ultra realistic exterior concept visuals (NO engineering plans, interior or building drawings are required) for a 5 vessel project.
Scope: Exterior-only concept visuals (no class/engineering). Create 3 ultra-realistic still images for described vessels. Vendor to model or clean up the hull/superstructure sufficient for marketing-grade renders.
Design and renders are required for below vessels:
1. Very Large Container Vessel: 399.9 m LOA × 60 m beam
2. Arctic Service Vessel: 174 m LOA × 34 m beam
3. Hospital Ship: 250 m LOA × 34 m beam
4. Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP): 70 m LOA × 22 m beam
5. Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP): 225 m LOA × 46 m beam
This is a concept-stage, marketing-grade visualization assignment. We do not require detailed engineering drawings, stability calculations, engineering designs, or production plans. The goal is to produce 3 ultra-realistic exterior images per vessel to communicate the look & feel of the designs to public, stakeholders and investors.
Scope of Work
• 3 photorealistic / ultra realistic exterior still images per vessel:
• Hero perspective at sea
• Fly by / Aerial view
• Clean profile, perspective, and bow-on view (with relevant environment: at sea for container ship; ice field for Arctic vessel, at port for FNPP, and at sea for hospital ship)
• Build / adapt 3D hull & superstructure models based on dimensions and references (we will supply principal dimensions, and livery/mood references).
• Apply realistic materials, lighting, surrounding environment, cranes, life boats, life rafts, windlasses, anchors, masts, radar antennas, large size satellite antennas, vhf antennas, related hull openings for pilot, related ramp/door for roll on/roll off, hull markings, draft markings, vessel names, funnel marking, company logos, and port, sea state/ice effects.
• Deliver high-resolution images (min. 6000 px wide; TIFF/JPG) and, if feasible, layered PSD plus the base 3D model for future edits.
We will provide:
• Principal dimensions & vessel descriptions
• Basic visuals as reference (not to be used or copied for original work)
• Branding for style
We expect from you:
• Portfolio of past marine / ship / yacht visualization work
• Clear description of your process, timeline, and number of revision rounds included
• Fixed-price quote for modeling + 3 stills per vessel (or separate line items)
⸻
Deliverables & Timeline
• Initial “clay” previews of model and camera angles within 4–7 business days from project start
• Final high-resolution renders within 5–7 business days after approval of previews
• Two revision rounds included at each stage per vessel
⸻
Budget & Payment
We are open to receiving fixed-price proposals for each vessel separately and another quote as a combined package. Escrow service will be in use. Please include:
• Your total price for one vessel (3 stills)
• Your total price for all vessels (15 stills)
• Rights & Confidentiality: We require full and exclusive commercial usage rights to all final images and associated project materials. The designer will be contractually prohibited from disclosing our company name, sharing any aspect of the designs, or using the project in any form for self-promotion or third-party purposes without our prior written consent. Furthermore, the designer shall assume legal responsibility for the authenticity and originality of the work delivered, including liability for any moral or material damages arising from breaches of originality or misrepresentation. (Usage rights: perpetual, worldwide, commercial (marketing/deck/pitch))
Payment milestones:
• 25% on contract award
• 35% after acceptance of initial designs
• 40% upon delivery of final high-resolution renders
⸻
Skills & Experience Desired
• Naval architecture or marine design background OR proven track record of ship/boat/ferry/offshore renders
• Advanced 3D modeling skills (Rhino, 3ds Max, Blender, Maya, Unreal, etc.)
• Ability to render photorealistic marine environments (sea state, ice, port)
• Clear communication and timely delivery
⸻
How to Apply
Please send:
• Links to your portfolio (especially marine vessel examples),
• Confirmation of your availability and estimated timeline,
• Breakdown of your fixed price for modeling + 3 stills per vessel,
• Any clarifying questions you have about the project,
