WetaM cloud service is to unleash Weta's Academy Award-winning proprietary tools, fully integrated with industry leading 3D software, Autodesk Maya.

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 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.

Weta Digital brings together the most creative minds in the world and has been a pioneering innovator in the visual effects and entertainment industry for decades, said Prem Akkaraju, CEO of Weta Digital. WetaM is a transformational move that will raise the bar for global creative production, redefining the industry in the process. At its core, this partnership with Autodesk will extend the reach of the Weta magic, making it more accessible for artists in pursuit of creating amazing characters and worlds across film and television.
