"Join new media artists Sam Mcgilp and Henry Lai-Pyne for this workshop in virtual production with experimental aesthetics. We will design and play with 3D Avatars and Environments in Unreal Engine, before using Motion Capture to perform and inhabit the characters that we’ve designed. "
The Computer Generated 3D world isn’t bound by the logic or physics of our physical world. We will work together using virtual production to create experimental 3D short films that collapse the real and CG into a strange singularity.

On 27-28 Feb 2020, MetaObjects conducted a 2-day Art Hack exploring motion-capture and 3D animation at the Interaction Design Lab at the University of Melbourne. The workshop took place at the School of Computing and Information Systems together with students from the Victorian College of the Arts. The first day involved capturing data using the OptiTrack system and then moving into the computer lab to apply the data to 3D avatars using Blender. The second day was spent experimenting and developing students' ideas with the technology.
