Solidwave Ltd was established in 2006 by Jon Oates, who began his career as a designer for Dixon Yacht Design, after graduating from Brunel University.
Working closely with many of the top end yacht designers, Solidwave Ltd is a premier supplier of state of the art computer generated images (CGI) for the marine industry.
We provide a bespoke service in 3D yacht visualisation, realisation and development, offering tailored expert advice on creating the maximum visual impact for each clients project. From conceptual designs, to the production of sales and marketing material, architectural visualisation has become an integral part of the creative design process.
We are proud of our diverse and continually expanding client base which specialises in luxury yacht design, but also includes the construction and power sectors.
Our studio is based in Winchester on the South Coast of England and provides yacht visualisation, animation, and design services to a global client base.
A majority of our work is for private clients who require the utmost confidentiality and we strive to respect their privacy. We have worked with some of the industry's leading designers and shipyards to produce imagery of some of the largest and most prestigious yachts in the world. We pride ourselves in our ability to produce the highest quality work with complete integrity and absolute non-disclosure.
Where architecture and interior design meets the marine industry.
Architectural visualisation is an integral part of any creative design process. At Solidwave we provide 3D yacht visualisation services for all stages of internal and external yacht design through to producing marketing and promotional material.
We offer a bespoke 3D modelling service for the yacht industry, as well as architecture, product, and interior design.
Using the latest fully parametric CAD system, we develop a sketch into a 3D model and adapt through to a fully rendered final photo-realistic image, allowing clients to visualise and scrutinise their product.
From simple animations featuring product and design development, through to sophisticated walk throughs and fly-arounds of super yachts, we can create yacht animations of any aspect of a 3D model.
This is a key element of any digital marketing strategy as well as being utilised by building yards to visualise the final product.
Configurators are quickly becoming an expected sales tool.
Used to enhance the overall customer experience, they allow clients to configure and customise internal and external options, presenting a 3D visual representation of the yacht in real time. Final configurations ensure that the product meets the client expectations, by providing an accurate final image.
Web or application based, this is a highly immersive option.
The viewer is able to experience what it is like to be on a yacht virtually, allowing designers to evaluate the project remotely before beginning production.
