Unity is buying Peter Jackson’s Weta Digital for $1.6B
Wow. Weta works on some really big films, so it will be exciting to see the work that they have done become available in the asset store.<p>In the PR they say:
> [...] the asset library we’ll inherit [...], which includes urban and natural environments, flora and fauna, humans, man-made objects, materials, textures, and more. The WetaFX team will continue their [...] work for major film and TV productions and feed into this asset library for years to come.<p>Peter Jackson (of LoTR fame) is one of the founders of Weta.<p>Sad to see another one of New Zealand's large, well known employers get sold.
