3D visualization of New York MTA R142 Subway Cars

I visualized the new R142 Subway cars by Kawasaki/Bombardier for New York City´s MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority), designed by Antennadesign.

My 3D renders were utilized by the City, New York Department of Police (NYPD) and Mayor´s office in deciding related features in the subway cars (use of glass, metal piping near the doors, etc features). Cars were built ultimately in Japan and Canada for the east side subway lines 4, 5 and 6.

My 3D renders were published in following publications:

  • Evolution of New York City Subways”, NYC MTA, Johns Hopkins Press, 1998, 2002
  • AXIS Design Magazine, #78, Tokyo, Japan, 1999
  • Design News Magazine, #241, Tokyo, Japan, 1998

Software utilized: Strata Studio on a Mac PowerPC 9500.
