LOS ANGELES -- Businesswire -- Weta Digital, one of the world’s premiere visual effects studios, has partnered with global media and entertainment software provider, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), to launch WetaM - a ground breaking product offering that provides tools designed and developed by Weta Digital, fully embedded in Autodesk Maya. Weta Digital has won 13 Academy Sci-tech Awards for its tools that helped artists produce some of the most successful film and TV series in the world, including “The Lord of the Rings,” “Avatar,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Planet of the Apes,” to name a few. Weta intends to rollout WetaM as a private beta in Q4.
WetaM productizes Weta’s unique set of proprietary VFX tools for artists built on Maya’s open API, and will be commercialized by Weta Digital as a subscription cloud service. For the first time, artists from around the world will have access to one complete—from stage to screen—cloud based pipeline. The launch of WetaM marks the first product launch under a newly formed Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) division within Weta Digital. This new business arm is an integral part of Weta’s expansion strategy to offer professional and prosumer tools to artists across the global entertainment industry.
