Sculpture Synergy with VR is a 2-day workshop that explores the integration of VR sculpting with AI-powered creativity, advanced texturing techniques, and professional-grade video production. In today’s rapidly evolving creative landscape, blending human artistry with artificial intelligence can unlock new realms of possibility. This workshop is designed for artists and designers looking to enhance their VR sculpting skills using tools like Gravity Sketch, Substance Modeler, and Substance Painter while integrating AI-driven inspiration through Krea.ai. Participants will learn how to bring their creations to life by producing high-quality video outputs using Unreal Engine 5.

This workshop will guide you through creating detailed 3D sculptures in VR using Gravity Sketch and Substance Modeler, harnessing AI, and incorporating it into your creative process with Krea.ai. Followed by adding realistic materials and textures with Substance Painter. On the second day, we’ll dive into Unreal Engine 5 to produce cinematic video outputs of your sculptures, showcasing your work in a professional and visually compelling manner.

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

●    Master the fundamentals of VR sculpting using Gravity Sketch and Substance Modeler.

●    Integrate AI-generated prompts from Krea.ai into their creative process to inspire and refine their work.

●    Gain proficiency in Substance Painter for adding realistic materials and textures to their 3D models.

●    Develop skills in Unreal Engine 5 to produce high-quality video outputs of their sculptures.

●    Complete a polished 3D sculpture with detailed textures and a professional-grade video showcasing their work.

The workshop is structured around individual learning, with instructional demonstrations and hands-on practice. Each participant will work independently on their projects, with guidance and feedback provided throughout. The focus will be developing a personal workflow combining VR sculpting, AI integration, texturing, and video production.
