Intro to 3D Modeling : Imagining Biosphere

Biospheres, whether in a garden or on a planet, are formed by imperceivable interconnections. How to visualize these invisibles? How to create the illusion of liveliness with 3D technology? This workshop, open to all, will introduce attendees to the utility of 3D modeling in visualizing natural connections and movements. During the workshop, we will examine examples and cover the basics of the 3D platform, Unity, including its terrain system, particle system, and VFX Graph. We will then collaborate to design a living biosphere and explore the potential of these designs in ecological education and more. Whether you are a designer considering incorporating 3D models into your practices or simply want to figure out how 3D modeling works behind the scenes, all are welcome.
