Blogs - GreenButton

Hello again,

Together with Weta Workshop, Green Button is hosting a free competition to encourage Blender users to be as creative as possible. The competition involves imaginative people from around the world designing 3D ray guns on Blender in line with the Weta range of Dr Grordbort products. People will use a Green Button based plugin when creating and submitting their ray guns to speed up the process. The user can view and vote on submitted entries by peers. Prizes are awarded for the best designs, sponsored by Weta, and may include ray gun models and a trip to and guided tour of Weta studios. The competition is free to enter and will be a lot of fun for all involved.
The competition is scheduled to kick off in late March in conjunction with the launch of the Weta Collectables Exhibition at Cyberport in Hong Kong.
A website to coordinate the competition will be launched soon.

Kind regards,
Cassie - The Green Button Team

Hello my fellow Blender Heads!

For those of you that do not know us, we have developed an easy to use and cost effective rendering solution for Blender called the "Green Button".

This will enable you to render images up to 300% faster than on you home PC. We offer a python script so that you can schedule renders from inside Blender, making it super easy to use.

Signing up for an account is also easy and every new user gets a free $10 dollar trial and ofter that you can buy more CPU time at just 1c per CPU per minute.

We are located in Wellington, New Zealand and our external rendering facility is the same one used to render the graphics for the Lord of The Rings so come render your projects at the same place Lord of the Rings was rendered!
