< /marked up>: Animation and 3D Graphics Using Open Source Tools
Location: Sandbox Columbus, 851 Pearl Alley, Columbus 43215
Date: Saturday, July 18th
Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm
Instructor: Benjamin Schroeder
Cost: $25
Learn how to use Processing to create animated graphics. Topics will include: using the draw loop to create animation, reacting to user input, and creating basic 3D graphics (using both P3D and OpenGL). Along the way, we will discuss some intermediate coding topics, such as using classes to structure code. Some Processing or other programming experience recommended. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop, although there will be some laptops and desktop computers available. Please contact us if you need to reserve one.
