from Weta:
Tri-dimensional Industrial Design Contests!
Win a trip to New Zealand (sharp left at Australia)
The good people at Grordbort Industries in cohorts with the clever buggers at InterGrid are introducing a contest for digital artists to contrive and loco-mote electro-phosphorous models based on rayguns from the Dr. Grordbort’s universe.
This shootout is aimed at inexperienced upstarts as well as seasoned computational artists who will use new-fangled contraptions monikered: “InterGrid’s innovative Cloud rendering system, the Green Button”, to multidimensionalise and locomotate their creations.
Hong Kong braintrust Cyberport’s Digital Media Centre (DMC) will support the competition by making technological wizardry and remote meteorological computational bric-a-brac available to the contestants via The Green Button.
Monthly rewards for the most accomplished and acclaimed entries will be selected by Grordbort Industries and InterGrid lackeys. The supreme over-achiever and celebrated winner shall be announced in the month of October and the Grand Prize is a trip to New Zealand to meet Richard Taylor Esq. and Greg Broadmore (the Buffoon) at Weta Workshop, the designated manufacturing facility for some of Grordbort Industries’ designs.
