DETAILS
Transcendent Realities V1.0 is a 3d modeling intensive course with Autodesk Maya specifically for the creation of Virtual Reality content and assets for Unity in collaboration with Deathless VR at Jump Into The Light. Virtual Reality allows the user to escape reality and experience transcendent experiences which could never exist in the real world. Each person has their own mental version of what an interesting reality might be for them. Rather than only experience the virtual environments created by others, Transcendent Realities V1.0 will train you to be the God of your own imagination. Participants will learn to create Virtual Reality ready assets modeled with Autodesk Maya and Textured with UV mapping and Substance Painter. Participants will then learn how to import and set up these creations into the Unity game platform. The result of the intensive course will be participants actually experiencing their creations through Virtual Reality Headsets. Transcendent Realities V1.0 will be split into two parts, each 2 days long on consecutive weekends. Part 1 will focus on modeling with Autodesk Maya (The industry standard in 3d mesh modeling software) and creating textures to be mapped onto low polygon Virtual Reality ready 3D models. Part 2 will focus on bringing the models into the Unity platform with the textures so that they can be experienced with Virtual Reality headsets. Participants can choose to sign up for one or both parts of the workshop on the registration page.
