Studio Workshops

In traditional manufacturing, the more complex the shape, the more it costs to make. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, takes about the same time for simple shapes as for complex ones, but the materials used are more costly. This workshop teaches some design principles and introduces software tools to get the most from 3D printing.

ZBrush is a digital sculpting and painting program that has revolutionized the 3D industry with its powerful features and intuitive workflows. Expand your creative possibilities with ZBrush in multiple industries.

This session introduces artists to the basics of maxscripting through production examples. Attendees create their own macros to automate tedious tasks, write small scripts to simplify asset-creation, customize existing tools to their personal preferences, and embed scripts in the user interface.

Prerequisite: Intermediate knowledge of 3ds Max.

Get hands-on with motion capture for facial animation. This workshop introduces various off-the-shelf facial-expression tools to create photo-realistic faces and animate realistic expressions. Attendees may also participate in demonstrations using facial motion capture technology.

Have you ever wanted to make a video game? This session shows you how to build a small level in the freely available CryENGINE 3 SDK.

This workshop presents the affordances of the Arduino Microcontroller to sense and interact with the environment. It includes a series of short exercises that illustrate how to use Arduino to read data from simple sensors and transform them into different outputs.
