Pablo San Gregorio from Shaman Garage will host Hybrid World Building Workshop in the afternoon.
This workshop is designed to collectively build a playable environment. The participants create props and figures in clay and use photogrammetry to digitize them. In the virtual space the participants will be able to walk through the scenarios they invented and collectively cartograph the landscape. This activity is an opportunity to approach the concept of worlding for video games and immersive 3D installation in a ludic way.
Pablo takes care of the material, you just need to come with yourself.
