Autodesk Sponsors Dare To Be Digital

Autodesk is sponsoring top video games development competition; Dare to be Digital, by providing more than 100 licenses of 3D software to allow students to create their entries for this year's competition.
Software provided by Autodesk includes Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya 3D modelling, animation and rendering software as well as Autodesk Mudbox digital sculpting software.
Dare to be Digital is a video game development competition which is aimed at talented students from universities and colleges of art. The competition has been running since 2000 and consists of five teams of students - usually a mixture of artists, programmers and audio - working in regional hosting centres in England, Scotland and Ireland for ten weeks to develop an original, quirky and innovative prototype of a video game.
At the end of the competition, the prototype games are showcased in August at an event in Edinburgh, Dare Protoplay. The general public and industry experts get to play and vote for their favourite prototype, with prizes awarded to the winning teams at a special ceremony. The winning teams go on to attend the BAFTA Video Games Awards to compete for the highly coveted 'Ones to Watch Award'.
Patrick Jocelyn, director EMEA, Autodesk Media & Entertainment, said: "We really enjoy supporting these competitions. They often produce some highly creative work and unearth some amazing talent. It's a great way for students to become familiar with our software and receive training from industry experts to help them get the best out of our products."
