We were appointed by Sunborn, an international property development and investment company based in Finland. to assist them with CGI marketing material for their exciting floating hotels. Throughout 2011 we have worked extensively with Sunborn producing a variety of images which are to be included in the forthcoming marketing literature and website for their new Hotel in Barcelona.
We imported the vessel from SolidWorks in 3d, which worked unusually well, with judicious use of the Vray 2sided material, we managed to get it rendering nicely. Some additional modelling for extra details, and interiors was done as required by each view.
We worked closely with Sean Conboy (http://www.photo-genics.com/), photographer, who visited the site to take many of the photos which we later used to montage the vessel into. Sean’s artistic eye, and Hasselblad camera delivered some really beautiful and huge images to work with..
The Hotel is due to open in the spring of 2012, the Sunborn Barcelona will be located at the new Port Fòrum Marina. Looking out over the Mediterranean the new yacht hotel will be centre point of the marina area.
The 5-Star Grand Luxury class vessel has been custom designed and built at Sunborns purpose-built yacht hotel construction facility in Lumut, Malaysia. The 140m Sunborn Barcelona incorporates 180 rooms with 27 larger special suites. To enable guests to enjoy spectacular views of the Mediterranean, marina and Barcelona skyline, each suite has wall-wall and floor ceiling windows, as well as their own extensive balcony or terrace.
Throughout the vessel every detail in the design, choice of material or finish, has been carefully selected to add to the feeling of quality and exclusivity. There are also a wide variety of facilities including a large sun deck with pool, an exclusive lobby area and bar, fine dining restaurant, a day spa and fitness centre, meeting and conference facilities.
