After an introductory presentation of his work, Dominik Turan will focus on a more detailed description of the 3D environment and an introduction to the Blender 3D modeling software.

He will explain the difference between the two most common types of 3D graphics, PBR and stylized rendering.

He will show the stylized projects he has worked on and the breakdown of techniques: freestyle, grease pencil and toon shader.

He will compare 3D techniques with common hand-drawn ones and will list the advantages and disadvantages of including 3D software in your projects.

The children will create together an endlessly long street full of vehicles, people, animals, and things (there may even be speech bubbles).

The inspiration will be a typical Indian street captured in the comics Jarmil in India. The children will work together on the creation, each drawing (drawn and cut out) will be part of a common whole.

The children do not have to strictly adhere to Indian realities and can create surreal/fantastic connections of various vehicles and creatures.

The workshop will be held in Czech. 

Number of participants: max 15 persons.
