Along with Weta Workshop we have launched a digital design competition for Blender. Its based around the Weta Workshops creation of Dr.Grordborts and involves designing rayguns but we are just about to move into a month of designing rocket ships…wehehehe exciting stuff.

The competition will be running till October with monthly prizes or Weta workshop rayguns and a grand prize of a trip to New Zealand to Weta Workshop to meet

I will keep this forum updated with stuff about the competition, winners and the launch of new categories.

Hi Aidan,

The 'design a 1920’s Rocketshop competition for June is officially under-way. The site is updated but a few late Raygun entries have been submitted into the June competition. I will talk to my tec team next week and look at getting them moved into the Raygun category.

Looking forward to seeing your Rocketship entry =)

Cassie
