Weta and InterGrid are introducing a competition for digital artists to design and animate models based on the Dr. Grordbort’s range of Rayguns and characters created by Greg Broadmore, the Conceptual Designer of District 9 and has participated in many other Hollywood blockbusters such as King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I, Robot.

The competition is aimed at new as well as experienced digital artists who will use InterGrid’s innovative Cloud rendering system, the “Green Button”, to render their creations.  Cyberport’s Digital Media Centre (DMC) will support the competition by providing the render farm, which renders the 360-degree view for each entry.

Monthly prizes for the best and most popular entries will be selected by Weta and InterGrid staff and an overall winner will be announced in October who will win a trip to New Zealand to meet Richard Taylor and Greg Broadmore at Weta Workshop.
