VR Painting Webinar
The LAVAMUSEUM is the first easy access virtual museum that offers space for artists to present their work to a wide audience. During the VR Webinar we introduce you to VR art & animation and take you on a virtual tour through the museum. Finally everyone will create their own virtual artpiece.
In this basic course, you will learn how to create your own virtual meeting room (VMR) or exhibition space. As an example, we will together join a virtual museum with artworks from Studio LAVAMACHINE. There we will learn about the tools available. You create your first VR painting and finally your own virtual environment.
In this Masterclass we teach you the different techniques and methods of virtual design. The course contains practical exercises which will be discussed individually on a weekly basis.
