3D Team

You can find us up on Level 21 of the ASB Bank Centre on Albert Street. Being in the middle of Auckland means we see the city changing every day from our windows. It is a long way up, and the elevators are usually pretty fast. Our space is mostly filled with big monitors and people wearing headphones. We do a lot of 3D work, so the computers are always humming and it gets a bit warm in the room. There are cables everywhere and sometimes we trip over them if we aren't careful. Albert Street has been under construction for what feels like forever, so the walk into the building can be a bit of a maze. We don't have many plants because we always forget to water them, but the view of the harbor makes up for it. Most of us just show up, grab a coffee from the place downstairs, and get to work on our models. It’s a quiet environment for the most part because everyone is focused on their screens. We don't go in for fancy suits or anything like that, just comfortable clothes for long hours of sitting. Level 21 feels a bit separated from the noise of the street below, which is good for concentration. It’s just a group of people who are into 3D stuff trying to make things look right on the screen. We stay here until the work is finished, usually late in the day.
