Keystone Studio : NAUTILUS ENGINE

ART ON WATER

A yacht is born not only to sail, but to express an idea of beauty.
Every profile is a brushstroke, every section a score orchestrating materials, proportions, and light into a living, moving masterpiece.
The designer is at once architect, sculptor, and poet: carving the sea with structures that captivate even before they touch the water.

WHERE AESTHETICS SAIL INTO INNOVATION

Nautilus Engine, developed by Keystone Studio, was created with the goal of bringing high-end nautical projects to life through a high-performance interactive 3D configurator, harnessing the power of Unreal Engine.
An elegant fusion of aesthetics and technology, designed to deliver a smooth, realistic, and deeply immersive experience.

CUSTOMIZE EVERY DETAIL

Thanks to a simple and intuitive interface, every part of the yacht can be customized: from the hull to the deck, from the bridge to decorative details.
Color combinations can be explored in real-time, encouraging creative experimentation with extremely high graphic fidelity.

DYNAMIC WEATHER

Nautilus Engine enables the simulation of various weather conditions—sun, clouds, rain, wind, humidity.
With a time-of-day slider, it’s possible to observe the yacht at any moment of the day, highlighting shapes, finishes, and materials.

REAL-TIME RENDERING

Every modification to materials, reflections, and lighting is processed instantly, allowing you to explore the yacht with a visual quality comparable to cinematic production—but without the wait times of traditional rendering.
Through a dedicated panel, you can precisely configure image or video settings and export the final output at the highest quality, directly from the configurator interface.

3D GEOLOCATION

Thanks to integration with Cesium, Nautilus Engine allows you to position the yacht in any real-world geographical location, using high-precision topographic data and satellite-driven automatic 3D generation.
From the waters of the French Riviera to the Norwegian fjords, each scenario is navigable and realistic, offering an immersive context to evaluate shapes, colors, and reflections in relation to the surrounding environment.

VR IMMERSION

Nautilus Engine allows you to explore the model in first-person view, moving freely inside and outside the yacht with fluidity and realism.
Thanks to virtual reality support, the experience becomes immersive: each space can be experienced at real scale, perceiving proportions and materials as if you were truly onboard.
A mode designed for designers and clients who want to experience the design, not just observe it.

DEVICE

Nautilus Engine is fully modular and customizable: interface, materials, features, and navigation flows can be tailored to the specific needs of each client, ensuring maximum flexibility without compromising elegance and performance.
Nautilus Engine is not just a configurator: it’s a visionary tool that blends aesthetics, technology, and interactivity to revolutionize the way a yacht is imagined, designed, and experienced.
From color customization to VR navigation, every detail is conceived to offer a smooth, immersive, and true-to-reality experience.
A system that doesn’t merely showcase a product but narrates an idea of luxury, design, and innovation.
An engine created to inspire, even before it builds.
