The second part of the workshop focusing on doing things in 3D space and explains some basics for that we had no time in the first part:

basics & a bit more:

• Subpatches: Organise your patches in subpatches. modularity, reuse your patches later.
• More spreadoperations: select, getslice, setslice, spectralnodes & binsizes etc.
• Multiple renderers and transform them to create large multiscreen projections. (example: projections on large buildings)
• Using the output of the renderer as a texture. Create an animationpatch convert it to a texture and use cool PostFX filters on it.
• Nodes for creating and manipulating textures.
• Filternodes, smoothly filter between changing values for creating nice and smooth animations.

exploring 3d-space

• Terminolgy (Mesh, Vertices, Texturecoords, UV Mapping, Indices, Normals etc).
• Using cameratransformations (perspective, position, orientation) on the renderer and animating the camera.
• Transformations in 3D Space
• About shaders and how to use them
• Mesh Import from 3d software (.Xfile, Collada)
• Having Fun with spreading in 3d Space
• A simple 3d mapping example on one or more cubes.

If theres time&energy left:

• Using Kinect to create interactive graphics
• Connecting vvvv to an iphone or android phone to control patches via OSC
• Connecting arduino to vvvv to use sensors, control Motors etc...
