This is a piece I had worked on a long time ago. I've went through and cleaned it up. I'll probably take this model into zbrush to add the rivets. Rendered in 3d Studio Max 9 and Vray 1.5. All crits welcome.
I recently found more reference for the original Disney 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea's Nautilus. In the past I didn't have alot of good reference (Google didn't exist, oh the horror) so I had to kind of cheat some stuff. With the references I have now I'll be able to add alot more detail that I didn't have before now.
Yeah the bubbles have alot more detailed framework around them in the reference. They represent the window the crew would gaze out of to enjoy the open ocean.
Ivanisavich, yeah I love the movie and the great industrial design of the that Nautilus. I've been seeing too many modern designs, too many clean curves and edges. So I thought this would be a great piece that had great engineering detail from the past.
I think there are some torpedo launchers. I'll add them if the blue prints include them.
