Background & Tech Talk
Miguelangelo Rosario
3D Designer / VR & AR Artist + Coach -bio & info-
Since a few years, i am learning 3D animation to create virtual worlds. After doing lots of live art performances with Tilt Brush and learning to use programs like 3DS Max, Reallusion Character Creator and I-Clone, i have reached a level of skills that enable me to create the worlds and characters i can imagine and visualize. Now that i can create and animate almost anything, what should i do with those skills ? Make use of them, to make the world a better place and enable people to grow. But how ? VR and AR are the mediums, i use mainly for my art, so it was clear, that these new technologies would help me to transport a message. Which message ? Well in days of growing intolerance, bullying of minorities etc, i want to create a world to immerse and learn how it feels to be bullied or discriminated. Not just a virtual world but more a game, interactive and immersive to learn empathy, tolerance and understanding. And to learn how mindful and empathic behaviour can trigger love and acceptance...that even a Misfit in a circus can be an artist with a big heart and outstanding skills. This is the background for my educational VR & AR experience. This is only a rough first concept , but growing fast , as ideas pop up naturally...
Programs used so far : Autodesk 3DS Max, Reallusion Character Creator and Headshot plugin & I-Clone, Corel Draw, Gravity Sketch VR, Tilt Brush. Further Programs and platforms that will be used to build the experience : Reallusion Motion live for Motion capture, Reallusion Faceware for facial mocap, more reallusion plugins and software, Epic Unreal Engine 5 and i am sure a bunch of others, that i don't even think of yet...and not to forget Augmented Reality powered by the awesome AR app Arize.
