New Zealand digital artist Denham Kelly, and Californian information systems manager Mark Rose, have been named the winners of the global Raygun Shootout competition announced at the annual Blender conference in Amsterdam.
The competition, created by Intergrid New Zealand and powered by the Microsoft Azure platform, asked entrants from 72 countries around the world to design a raygun capable of ‘destroying 7/9ths of an African elephant in two blinks of an eye’. The competition had two categories – one for those using Blender’s open source 3D software and one for those using commercial software.
