Bulk and Location on Terrain

Large terrain models are useful to explain the various heights of hills, ridges, valleys, etc in a large rural development and can include whole new sections of mass planting, storm water lakes, roading and building development.

Terrain models are built from contour data and are textured with either an aerial photograph or standard texture maps. Even at this massive scale, our foliage and block model buildings are still three-dimensional!

Bulk and Location models are also used to convey the scale and layout of a large development before the architecture has been resolved.

We can create site models of large lots with indicative buildings and signage, but focusing predominately on the hard and soft landscaping.

3D Plans and Sections

We can build and texture an interior scene for your project, then take a camera angle from a Birdseye perspective by omitting the ceiling.

Many people struggle to read or gain a sense of scale from tradition 2D CAD plans. These plans help buyers understand the layout of a space. 3D plans can be of an entire floor or just a single apartment.

3D sections are a perspective view of a building or space cut in half to show the different arrangement of spaces and circulation.

Often it is difficult to comprehend double height spaces, voids, bridges, ramps and stair arrangements etc from 2D plans and sections. 3D sections help the lay-person to understand the vertical organisation of a complex building or space. They are especially useful for terraced housing and commercial buildings.

Here is one good example....

Urban Design Review Board

3D renderings are not just a marketing tool – they can help your project get through the Urban Design Panel. The UDP puts a huge emphasis on the experience of your building from street level or internal views and the overall aerial view. 3D renderings have a huge advantage over elevations because they show a real human view of your development.

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. Renderings can also be used to influence your country own Urban Design Panel'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, shopfronts, people and cars bring the building to life. The project can then be seen as an asset to the community.

Especially on state land near the sea or on the mountains, rendering is used to influence the Urban Design Panel for the lease....

As A Marketing Tool

We build and texture a virtual model of the exterior and interior of your building or development from the resources you provide.

The model is built to the exact dimensions of your drawings and is rendered with physically accurate materials and real world lighting. We also build the surrounding streetscape or landscape necessary for your image or animation. We also have a large library of cars, people, street furniture, signage and 3D foliage to give life to your scene. From here we can render high resolution still images or animations to show off your project.

Hi-res stills are suitable for all print media and are provided in digital format. Animations are provided in Quicktime (.mov), Windows Media Video (.wmv) or in DVD format. For cutting edge clients, we can also provide High Definition video on Bluray.

Concept Design

Concept images are about selling a vision! Architects often employ our services to help convey their design to the client. Concept images are also used to get the public and council on-side with a controversial development by presenting them with an ‘asset’ to their environment.

We take whatever resources you can provide us with and go to it. Our architectural backgrounds allow us to make informed decisions where the information is lacking. We can help you achieve something that looks resolved before the design has been formalised.

Final Perspective

Our Selected Work 2008

Four close friends came together one evening. At that time, they took graduate architect positions at various established Architectural firms in Singapore where they worked predominantly on large residential and commercial buildings. After a chat, they quickly discovered that there was an unexploited niche market for a full package architectural report with high quality 3D renderings.

M2LD STUDIO DESIGN was therefore incorporated in July 2004! The four of them would continue to work at their respective firms for a further 2 years doing 3D rendering in their evenings and weekends. This gave the business time to mature and their architectural experience now helps them work so well with architects and developers.

The team finally took the business full-time in mid 2006 having already built up a strong client base. At this point they invested heavily in re-branding and marketing the company. They took on their first employee shortly after, and invested in an impressive render farm. Things really started to take off for M2LD STUDIO DESIGN when they released their first showreel in early 2007. Since then the company has grown steadily and now has many of Singapore's top architects and developers as clients.

The team at m2ld studio design aspire to make a truly international company of M2LD STUDIO DESIGN and to continue to raise the bar for architectural visualisation. Here are some of their work....
