RTT USA Inc. (RTT) is helping Detroit Diesel digitally market its DD13, DD15 and DD16 BlueTec SCR Emissions Technology engines using 3D photorealistic imagery. Detroit Diesel is leveraging the computer-graphic images in advertisements, online and on the road for presenting its engines at tradeshows across the country.

Using CAD files, RTT created a high-resolution, print-quality image and four photorealistic animations for each Detroit Diesel engine. One animation takes viewers on a full 360-degree tour of every exterior detail, while the other three focus specifically on high-performance internal features of that particular engine, including the exhaust gas recirculation, fuel system and turbochargers.
