Announcing more #CodeArtTogether Workshops with Char Stiles!

Building a Music Visualizer and learn how to use the Webcam with Shaders.

We are thrilled to announce two additional workshops with Char Stiles:

• Sunday, July 05: Music Visualizer with Shader

Take the first steps to wielding the power of shader code by creating a simple real-time music visualizer.

• Sunday, July 12: Webcam with Shader

Using your webcam input use GLSL code to create a unique glitchy filter for a self portrait, portrait of your pet, anything you can hold up to your webcam!

This 2-hour session will include the following exercises:

• 15min - Introduction, concepts, and context.

• 60min - Guided hands on creation, application of concepts.

• 30min - Self directed hands on in smaller groups.

• 15min - Show and tell your shader creation(s)! Q+A. Exploring next steps.

• ??min - Round Table, Algorave & hang! 

At 1:00 (PT) (14:00 EDT, 18:00 UTC, 20:00 CEST) Time.Is

$20 suggested donation with a sliding scale. Get your ticket now.

Description

In these online workshops you’ll learn how to code graphics and animations using shaders. This class is interactive, in that you can ask questions real-time;  you will be talking to your classmates and you will be encouraged to show your work.

The environment you'll code in is free and browser based, no time wasted in setup/installation. Quickly iterate on creations by talking directly to your graphics card with GLSL (a C-like programming language). 

Once you’ve got the basics of shaders down, real-time rendering skills translate to many projects: livecoding performances, music visualizers, spicing up your unity/three.js/openframeworks projects, snap filters, and animated gifs (as just a few examples).

Levels

No programming experience required, but some scripting recommended. If you're starting from scratch or need a brush up on syntax, follow the first 15 minutes of shorturl.at/gGJV7

What to bring

Computer and internet connection.

For best experience, it's recommend to have a second screen (or tablet) for the video streaming and keep your main for computer display for live coding and test your shader creations.

Software to be installed
