Wardenclyffe Tower (magnifying transmitter) 3d Visualization Project

[JesterArts]

Hello peeps,

 

I'm here to ask for help!

 

I'm taking it upon myself to create some images of high quality for the use of educators and enthusiasts. They are going to be realistic 3d visualizations of the wardenclyffe tower, Nikola Tesla's magnifying transmitter.

 

PROBLEM: There is virtually NO accurate reference on this subject. Only historical pictures of low graphic quality. I've found some decent quality detailed graphics, but only on certain sections of the unfinished structure.

 

SOLUTION: I am looking for a gifted engineer or someone of related skill to help draft the transmitter to accurate proportion based on the reference existing in our day (which is not much). This means having to use an amount of discernment in anticipating how things would have been done on the original invention where the photograph references obscure the details. Also knowing to a fair degree what the key instrument (the magnifying transmiter) that it housed would have looked.

 

Project Goals:

 

1. Fully realistic 3d images of the tower and accompanying lab rendered from various angles, plus an image to replicate this traditional photograph:

 

 

2. Cut away views of finished tower/inner workings.

 

3. Back in the day, there was an artistic rendering of what the finished tower would look like. I will be adding these details as well to the model, also replicating a traditional concept.

 

4. A creative visualization of what a tower like this would look like if created in the near future based on design trends.

 

If you know someone who would be interested please have them contact me through my website, facebook, etc.

 

Anyone who helps will be credited. It can be more than one person, even a community effort. I am open to many scenerios, and I am a proven illustrator, so do not hesitate to seriously considering being a part of this if you are capable. A website will be created around the finished product giving credit to all involved.

 

This will be a free work, but credit will go to those helping. The Blender 3d Model and accompanying work will also be released to the public under conditions that allow it to remain genuine.

My skill is as an illustrator, not a draftsman or engineer. It would be fairly impractical for me to attempt this without qualified help on the above mentioned things.

 

Thank you for your consideration.
