Design: Zombie Survival Vehicles



Here's a series of realistic cross-sections of vehicles to survive the on-coming zombie apocalypse envisioned by UK-based motion designer Donal O’Keeffe.  Created with Cinema 4D’s Physical Renderer, the series features highly detailed designs feature everyday vehicles turned into zombie killing machines, equipped with all the supplies you’d need to survive an apocalypse.

The tiny contents inside the vehicles were modeled and textured by the designer, aside from a few of the more complex items (i.e. guns), which he purchased. Most of the actual cars were also modeled by O'Keeffe.

Most of them look more cush than the dorm I lived in at college.  The double decker might be an upgrade on my current accommodation, if O'Keeffe would only add in a shower.  However, I find the lack of gun turrets disturbing.
"I wanted to create a narrative for each vehicle, to create a character or characters that live, drive and survive. So I placed objects that I thought first would be necessary for survival (water, petrol, food, weapons) and then I started to populate the interiors with personal objects that I felt would be important to the characters in a life or death situation —photographs, books, rosary beads etc. I also wanted to put some small detailed textures somewhere on the vehicles—blood stains, scrawled writings, pop culture designs, etc"
