Lecturer at Algebra University College Bernays and associate in the Game Development program, multimedia artist Ivan Šivak, will reveal to workshop participants the magic of transforming an ordinary 2D illustration or photograph into a dynamic 3D space – literally in the blink of an eye! Using simple techniques, Šivak will share his many years of experience in comics, illustration, and animation, and explain how to enrich a static image to create an impressive 3D world. At the end of the process, participants will add a camera and animate its path to create a stunning 3D effect and bring the photograph to life.To apply for this free workshop, you need to send one 2D photograph or digital drawing to info@blendzagreb.eu and briefly explain why you want to bring that particular scene to life.
