This workshop introduces artists and creative practitioners to Stable Diffusion through a combination of practice, practical guidance, and critical discussion.
This workshop is an introduction to creating live simulations using the Unity game engine. Participants will learn how to build a 3D scene in Unity, automate it using the C# programming language, and make it interactive through the OSC protocol for non-conventional control. The workshop is designed for people who are new to Unity and programming.
In the first session [21 March], we will introduce the Unity Editor interface and tools to build a custom environment. The second session [28 March] will cover the fundamentals of C# programming to bring the scene alive. We will then use the OSC protocol to interact with the automations we created using our smartphones.
We will cover Unity and C# fundamentals, scene customisation, movement automation via scripts, useful logic for interaction and automation, sound integration, and how to use the OSC control protocol with Unity.
By the end of the session, participants will
Gain hands-on experience building and customising 3D environments in Unity
Develop a foundational understanding of C# programming for automation and interaction
Learn how to integrate sound and non-conventional controllers using the OSC protocol
Understand creative workflows for building interactive and simulated environments
Do I need any particular skills?
The workshop is designed for people who are new to Unity and programming. Participants are expected to be familiar with digital creation and interfaces where things can break. A creative and problem-solving mindset will get you through.
