3D Reactor Cutaway Illustration

This is a cutaway illustration showing the containment features of the Mark I BWR reactor for Argonne Now magazine. Argonne Now is a biannual print magazine featuring stories about the fascinating science and engineering that goes on at Argonne National Laboratory and its ramifications for our everyday lives.
This is the final vector illustration with the background included. Prior to final publication, the background was removed as shown below.
This is the 3D model/rendering I created with Strata 3D CX to use as my drawing template within Adobe Illustrator.
Here's the line work created in Illustrator prior to adding the color, shading, and callouts.
