Want to turn a story into a clear VR-friendly sequence?
Delivered by: Visual Spectrum Studios (online)
In this online, beginner friendly workshop you’ll map a short story into simple shots and build it in Blender, step by step.
This skills session focuses on practical skills. You’ll plan a short sequence, block out shots with basic models, set up comfortable camera moves that read well in a headset, add simple lighting for clarity, and export a short clip you can be viewed in VR.
You’ll also learn how to organise your files so you can keep developing the piece afterwards.
Who it’s for
Artists, filmmakers and designers who are new to Blender or need a clear, repeatable workflow for linear VR content. No prior experience required.
Access and follow-up
Live captions will be enabled. A recording and practice files will be shared afterwards so you can continue at your own pace.
