Recently, I was hired by a prominent power company CEO (name withheld by request) to help visualize a new concept for the storage of energy. The end result was a double-sided tri-fold 4-color brochure that he could use to sell investors on the concept, and to pursue a patent. Shown here is the brochure, and several supporting scenes I rendered and provided as secondary deliverables. Also provided were several short animated fly-bys and walk-throughs, showing interior spaces and details of operational moving parts and engineering mechanics.

The job came in on schedule and within budget:
Approx Cost: $3800
Time to Complete: 2 months

Software used for this job: Rhino 2.0 (NURBS CAD Modeler), 3D Studio Max 4, Photoshop

I was provided only with the basic concept, several rough pencil sketches, and some engineering schematics. I took this and came up with the detailed designs, layouts, dimensions, and pump mechanics that you see. Although I wasn't hired to do so, and it's not really my background, I performed the mathematical calculations to provide a system that was much closer to operational viability than the simple "artist's conception" that I was originally hired to do.

The client was also ecstatic when he learned I performed actual research on industrial pumps, building code, pipe and flange design, and industrial roller assemblies to turn what was supposed to be a simple artist's conception into something closer to an engineering design visualization, all for no added cost to the client. I'm committed at all times to going 'above and beyond the call of duty', when possible and appropriate. I created all 3D architectural textures by hand (the best of which are now a part of my 3D texture library).
