Workshop

The participants of this hands-on workshop will be taken to the worlds of VRChat to explore the application of 3D tools and game engines for use in creative and artistic works.

Hop between virtual worlds and create your own in-game photos, bring the real-world into the virtual with 3D scanning, and create new landscapes and environments out of pre-made and scanned 3d objects.

The workshop is open to everyone interested in the intersection of games, photography and 3D art, no previous experience required. If possible, bring a Windows Laptop, otherwise there will also be laptops provided. The workshop will be streamed online via Twitch and on co-digital.org and you can also join “hands-on” through VRChat from home.

This is the second workshop of the series “Capturing the (Game) World” about In-Game Photography, a collaboration of C/O BerlinDIGAREC, and ZeM.

The workshop language will be English
