Introduction to Touchdesigner

This workshop introduced the TouchDesigner software, an audiovisual platform equipped with tools that enable the creation of stunning real-time projects and, as a result, provide rich user experiences. During the four-hour session, participants will learn the basics necessary for creating interactive media systems, architectural projections, live music visuals, or simply how to rapidly prototype ideas.

Introduction to Particle Systems and Blender
Overview of the particle system in Blender3D and its different applications.
Particle system is a technique in game physics, motion graphics, and computer graphics that uses a large number of very small sprites, 3D models, or other graphic objects to simulate certain kinds of “fuzzy” phenomena, which are otherwise very hard to reproduce with conventional modelling techniques – usually highly chaotic systems, natural phenomena, or processes caused by chemical reaction.
Introduction to Processing

This workshop focused on one of the main creative coding platforms “Processing”. Processing is a programming environment, a prototyping tool created to make it easier to develop “sketches” using code. It allows the creation of real-time 2D and 3D interactive applications as well as high-quality output for print and video. It can also be used in creating sound-responsive visuals and data visualization.
