360 Sketching Workshop

at the CODAME ART+TECH Festival 2019『 SPACE 』

Analog + Digital Sketching for VR with Michael S. Scherotter

Oct. 26th at GitHub San Francisco

http://codame.com/events/workshop-360-sketching

Learn how to create 360 sketches with both analog and digital tools that can be viewed just like 360 photos on the web or in VR headsets. As sketching is often quicker than 3D modeling, creating a quick immersive sketch for VR design, game design, or architectural design can be a great tool to ideate on and communicate a space, scene, or experience. Bring both analog (pens, pencils for drawing on copier paper) and digital tools (tablets with drawing apps that support layers) and any VR headsets (Google Cardboard, Oculus Go, etc.) to view the results.
