    Very good-looking. :)
    Is it your design or did you just perform the rendering part of the job?

    Very nice renderings and design, but why strange location of drives?

    This is probably the first time I see an aesthetically very pleasing design coming from China, Leo. I'm not kidding. No offence intended, but I generally see very few examples of fine modern visual creativity coming from your nationals. Maybe it is simply a matter of different definitions of beauty in the different parts of the world, or maybe chinese designers are simply not well-known in this part of the world - who knows.
    However, you seem to have a more "western-type" eye, and I really like this design. May I ask where did you study industrial design (if you did, of course)?

    Engine room accessibility and weight concentration in the midship area?

    In this case, it would be waste of best area for engine room. Common solution is to have engine at stern, having good access through deck hatch.

    Right, now that I look better I can also see some large windows where the engine room appears to be. That's an incongruence, imho.

    That's why I believe they have done only those renderings, without any engineering or even GA...

    Hi Daiquiri,

    Thank you again for your too much praise . I just a ordinary designer in the field and and still lack of experience and knowledge . In China never had yacht design Major , I touch this field just by accident before many years. and so lucky to met
    some well-known yacht designer and boss who gone me job offer and work directions . So I think I learn the design almost from long-term much work . I am very thankful for them. I think almost designer are interested in concept design
    whether come from where and whether background . We can do it if have time and skill . I do not think so I have more "western-type" eye, perhaps my 3d skill and experience can be promote my eye.

    Hey Alik, don't be too harsh... This is clearly just a design (intended as styling), not a design (intended as engineering). ;)

    On the other hand Leo Wu said it from the beginning that this is just a styling and a rendering job.
