In an attempt to break new ground, Racal's lead designer decided to step away from the "usual" look of subsea vehicles and designed a new series of vehicles incorporating a sleek rounded upper hull.
Exaco was called in to provide visualization support, to bring the concept into a 3d world. Much time was spent with the designer to realising his vision. Once that was complete, we also provided some shots of the "new" vehicle in action.
