Virtual Production

Level: Intermediate 3D knowledge with Autodesk Maya

Location: St. Pölten UAS - A.3.01 Multimedia lab & A.3.05 TV-Studio (Building A)

In this workshop students dive into the magic of Virtual Production. The students create their own virtual world, which can then be experienced in real time in the TV studio via a green screen and moving camera.

Following Topics are covered:

Model/Asset preparation for Realtime Engines
- UV Layout, Textures, Baking, PBR Workflow
