We have done an example of almost every type of project – Boutique residential, apartments, multi-unit developments, commercial, retail, industrial, resorts, hotels, office fit outs, landscape gardens, civic centres, public spaces, retro-fits and product modelling. Check out our gallery and showreel of previous work to see how our services can work for you or click here to set up a consultation to discuss how One to One Hundred can help your business.

Our fee includes all post-production work for your image or animation. We can add title pages, logos, text, filters and transitions. We can also compress your animation for use on the web. 

If you want the best marketing material to sell your project, you need a specialist architectural modelling firm. We have resources that few architecture firms can compete with – resources that allow us to produce superior digital work faster and more cost effectively. We offer a host of dramatic features not found in CAD-style programs that will excite and move clients.

• See an almost photographic vision of your building with real world lighting and physically accurate materials.
• See materials as they really are. Metals that are shiny or matt; woods with the right colour and strength of grain; schist walls with real relief.
• View your scene at any time of the day, lit by natural daylight or artificial lighting, or by a combination of the two. Night shots and dusk/dawn lighting setups create truly emotive images.
• Have a warm fire flickering in the living room, or the cool glow of a lit pool pouring through a window at night.
• Have the actual view from your site as the background. We can even help source 360° panoramic images up to a height of 20m.
• Experience a richly detailed environment created from our extensive library of modern furniture, electronics, plants, cars and artwork.
• Have the actual furniture you've specified! We have an extensive furniture and electronic library including all the modern classics, or we can build a particular piece if requested.
• We can give your building a lush context with highly detailed 3D foliage with the actual plants specified by your landscape designer.
• Add extra drama to your animation with a time delay with billowing clouds and moving sun and shadows.
• Our pools move with the wind and our oceans gently swell. We even have flowing fountains and waterfalls.

Let us provide a finishing service to YOUR model. We understand that many firms produce an accurate and detailed 3D model in the process of documenting a building. It seems sensible that this model would be used to market your project. Let our resources become your resources! We can add the drama to your model that will give you and your client the best marketing material available. We use 3DS Max but can import Sketchup, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD and Vectorworks models – in fact we can use any model that can be exported as a .dwg or a .3ds.  

3D renderings are not just a marketing tool – they can be very useful much earlier in the life of a project.

Apart from being an excellent design tool, 3D renderings will help your project get through the Environment Court, Urban Design Panel and Resource Consent. Our virtual models are built with the exact dimensions of your drawings. They can even be accurately inserted into a photograph using survey information. Such images show the visual impact of a development. This process has become a common feature in Environment Court and the Urban Design Panel (UDP). The UDP Review Application even asks for the following:

“A detailed project description is required i.e. what does the proposal look like and how does it function? The panel looks at those aspects particularly from the point of view of people in the street/s around the proposal.”

The Application checklist even requires the following (as well as architectural drawings):

“List main materials, colours, textures and show landscaping”
“Perspectives with viewer at ground level (freehand or CAD) showing proposal in its neighborhood context”.

The UDP puts a huge emphasis on the experience of your building from street level. 3D renderings have a huge advantage over elevations because they show a real human view of your building. They also give an accurate sense of form, scale and materiality for the project. Your project can even be inserted into a photo of the site to show the building in its actual context.

3D renderings are quite simply the best way to convey your building to the UDP. They should also be part of a comprehensive Resource Consent Application, especially one where it is important to gain favour with the council.

Renderings can be used to influence council’s perception of the project just as they are for marketing. Unlike elevations, renderings can focus on the best parts of the building – the parts with the best architecture and where the most money is being spent. They can evoke positive feelings through the extra detail we add, particularly at street level. Features such as landscaping, street furniture, shop fronts, people and cars bring the building to life. The project can then be seen as an asset to the community. It really does come down to the old adage that “a picture tells a thousand words”.
