#CodeArtTogether

with Char Stiles

Connecting, Building, and Sharing are the pillars of CODAME #CodeArtTogether workshops:

• Connecting artist and tech community together, learning from each other.
• Building tangible outcomes in the timeframe of the workshops.
• Sharing your work is our inspiration to be showcase during and after the workshops.

Shaders Workshops

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).

Time Schedule

2 hours duration on Sundays at 11:00 (PT) (14:00 EDT, 18:00 UTC, 20:00 CEST) Time.Is

Upcoming:

• Oct.25: 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!

We offer special deals for educators and team building. Introduce yourself so we can partner! 

Outline

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! 

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  this video tutorial teaching you how to make shaders, starting with zero knowledge.https://youtu.be/u5HAYVHsasc

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

• Make sure your browser can run this page: https://shawnlawson.github.io/The_Force/
• If not, first switch to a browser that can support webGL: https://caniuse.com/#feat=webgl
• Then, follow instructions here to enable webGL for your browser.

We will provide

We will send you links to tutorial and video meeting the day before the workshop.
