ARMONK, N.Y., May 31, (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) today announced that Weta Workshop, the award-winning concept design and manufacturing arm of the Wellington-based Weta Group of Companies, has upgraded and expanded its implementation of high-speed transfer software from Aspera, an IBM company, to meet growing demand for high-volume transfers of large 2D and 3D design and video files.
Weta Workshop is best known for its design and effects work on award-winning film projects such as The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, Avatar and a large number of other blockbuster movies and television series. Over the years, Weta Workshop has expanded its business from traditional manufacturing processes to include digital 3D modeling solutions for large and small-scale props, costumes, animatronics, miniatures, set dressing and exhibitions. This is primarily due to technological advances in 3D printing and milling techniques. Additionally, the business needed a way to quickly move higher volumes of video-based content captured by their behind-the-scenes team. This shift in production process required changes to their digital collaboration workflows, based on the need to move even larger assets and larger volumes of data between members of the design and manufacturing teams and overseas clients and collaborators.
