Crafting an experience is different from making content.

An experience has to hold someone for every second they're inside it.

Te Kōtiu is the 10-minute immersive projection experience we worked on with MOTAT for the Aviation Hall.

Eighteen weeks of build. A lot of modelling, texturing and animation, in volume, to find what would carry the story across that space. These aircraft are part of that work.

The piece won Best Use of Digital at the 2024 Museums + Heritage Awards in London. The craft you don't see is the volume of exploration it takes to get to the version that lands.

Heads up! We're weeks out from wrapping a project, and our calendar opens up over the next couple of months for production work.

So if you've got real-time, Unity or 3D work on the horizon, or you know someone who does, give us a yell. Could be a new build, an overflow chunk, a stuck project that needs sorting, or even a "we're thinking about something for next year, what do you reckon" chat. All welcome.

Always good to hear from the wider whānau.

Testing out some new AI workflow for our asset pipelines. Drop a 2D image, prompt the agent, and watch a textured 3D model drop straight into the scene.

It’s early days, but the efficiency gains for rapid prototyping are incredibly promising for all immersive and desktop experiences.

Sharing a sample of 3D modelling work from an immersive training build we recently delivered with

A heavy industrial Plate Mill, the kind of environment where walk-throughs aren't always practical. Geometry, surface detail, scale,

The stuff trainees don't look at directly but pick up on if it's wrong. This one's about getting the place right with a high level of craft.

There used to be a step... before you sent the showreel, it was packaged. It was considered.

Interesting what you come across in data archives. Waxeye, circa 2012.

A DVD with custom illustrated artwork. Showreel cover, disc, stickers.

This is how we used to share work. Someone, somewhere, opened a small considered physical thing.

We are wondering if the physical is due a small comeback in this industry. The things people remember tend to be the things they held.

Then we remember nobody probably owns a DVD player 😂

One build. Many platforms with our unity expertise.

When we develop a 3D experience for VR or MR, the same project can ship to mobile, web or kiosk without starting from scratch.

This Tauranga Council Floods experience is a good example. Same world, same logic, now running in your hand on a phone. More reach, same craft.

Got something that needs to live in more than one place? DM us!

The art of turning complexity into clarity..

Downer Group is one of Australia and New Zealand's largest providers of integrated services - spanning transport, utilities, facilities, and more. The challenge wasn't telling any one story. It was finding a single visual language that could hold all of them.

We created and developed Downer a visual ecosystem. Each business unit has its own space within a connected whole — grounded, tactile, and built to convey real-world impact. From there it extended into print, a mixed reality experience with interactive hotspots, and a 90-second film that traced Downer's legacy and unveiled the new system at their 2025 Investor Day.

It launched as a moment. It's now a system - a templated visual language giving every Downer business unit a shared way to show how it fits into the larger whole.

Built to last.
