3D World Magazine[6] listed Piranha as one of the ten hottest CG studios of 2012, in part of their visualization[7] of the New World Trade Center,[8] that was featured in several architectural publications. The company was twice nominated for New York Emmy Awards[9] in category of graphics.

Piranha NYC also worked on 3D modelling for the Sex and the City movie.[10] The company partnered with Fluid in 2009 to provide 3D and visual work.[11]

At the beginning of 2012 Piranha participated in the CGarchitect[12] 3D awards competition with their film created for Silverstein Properties. It has been selected as one of the five nominees[13] in the category of Architectural Film/Animation (Commissioned).
