DAMEN™ ATD Tug 2412 + Wheelhouse

ATD Tug 2412

I can proudly say that it is the most detailed, accurate and realistic 3D tugboat in the world!
This is also my biggest project, surpassing my previous tugboat, the ASD 2810

In this new project created in 2022, I invested a lot of work, effort, dedication and study to accurately recreate this tugboat
I did not skimp on the time to create this project, I worked for months modeling the smallest detail and informing myself about the what and why of what I was creating, that includes searching and reading manuals for each of the navigation instruments and ship equipment, search for measurements, search for reference photos and blueprints.

All created with the greatest accuracy and realism.
Especially in the wheelhouse, each of the instruments were created in absolute detail with high polycount and high resolution textures, each of the screens were created from scratch in Blender and Illustrator

Here is a short list of equipment modeled in high detail:
Steiner™ Navigator Pro 7x50
TRON TR20 GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress Safety System)
SAILOR™ VHF 6222 DSC Class A
Thruster Control Lever
FURUNO™ Control Unit RCU 015

My biggest project because I decided to include in the scene other ships modeled in previous years, from container ships, oil tankers, bulk carriers and even other tugboats and a couple of ports to set the scenes, whose number of polygons is incalculable.

Modeled in Blender 3.0, rendered in Cycles, also Eevee ready
Textures created in Blender, Illustrator, Photoshop

This is the first set of images, this complex and detailed project gives much more of itself

Maybe the most spectacular Render of the Wheelhouse

Another one that for me is an excellent shot of the interior of my New Ultra Detailed DAMEN™ ATD Tug 2412

More and more Renders from the wheelhouse, all this enormous amount of detail deserves it

Note the deck hatch and stairs to the main deck
