Weta Digital explains FACETS, its Oscar-winning tech secretWeta Digital has won an early Oscar for its development of FACETS, and before you ask what the heck that is, the hint is in the first four letters. Weta Digital's FACETS technology, first used in Avatar, has won a Scientific and Technical Oscar. Fascione accepted the award, along with former Weta Digital employees J.P Lewis and Iain Matthews, but said a big team were responsible for making FACETS happen. Weta Digital also said the system would not exist without the invaluable help of Shane Cooper, Nebojsa Dragosavac, Goran Milic. Fascione said Weta Digital was always looking at how cinema technology could be improved.
