About the Workshop

This year, CAVE Academy and RADiCAL will be running a joint workshop in which they’ll be going from onset to real-time render to replicate a section of the historic Barbican Centre.

During the morning, they’ll be capturing onset data, including geometry, texture, material and lighting reference. Following on from this, in the afternoon they’ll be processing the data to generate photoscans, textures and HDRIs to then rebuild part of the Barbican in glorious 3D.

Following on from this, in the afternoon they’ll be processing the data to generate photoscans, textures and HDRIs to then rebuild part of the Barbican into a 3D scene using RADiCAL.

Along the way, they’ll discuss the importance of observation, gathering notes, photography, using calibration props and colour charts, PBR shaders, and how to go about capturing your own data for VFX and real-time previsualisation using readily available kit.
