Sculpting Worlds: VR & 3D Design Workshop

Sculpting Worlds: VR & 3D Design Workshop

Join us for an immersive hands-on workshop - discover how to model and sculpt 3D forms and worlds in VR!Curious about 3D design but not sure where to begin? This VR modeling workshop is the perfect entry point! Unlike traditional digital design tools confined to your computer screen, VR design offers a more immersive, intuitive way to create in three dimensions. In this session, we’ll dive into Gravity Sketch, a powerful VR app that lets you draw, sculpt, and paint your own interactive worlds. Even better—you can design collaboratively in real time with others, making it a shared creative experience. If you're looking for the joy of side-by-side creation with the powerful tools of 3D design, this workshop offers the perfect virtual reality blend!
