The newest addition to Premium3Dmodels.com is an extensive collection consisting of 27 watercraft 3d models.
You will find various 3d models of sailboats, catamarans, yachts, motorboats, lifeboats and jet skies.
All the models are correctly scaled and are accurate representations of real life objects. The level of details is suitable for the most extreme close-ups.
The collection is available in max (version 9) and obj formats and includes the material settings for vray and the high resolution textures as seen in the previews.
Bellow are a few examples:

The purpose of an architectural illustrator is to produce visuals that not only accurately represent a building that will be developed but also trigger emotions in the minds of the viewers and ultimately determine them to buy a property there. A building itself may not be the best from an architectural point of view, but a good visualizer can make it look appealing by enhancing certain features or by “telling a story” with an image and make viewers dream about a certain lifestyle.
Night renderings, if done right, are more likely to grab the attention of potential clients for a number of reasons; they are more spectacular, vibrant and rich in color, they “sell” not only a building but a lifestyle, and last but not least they aren’t as common as “standard” daytime renderings because they are a little more difficult to produce.
