Procedural Design Systems for Virtual Environments

1 Course Unit

"Procedural Design Systems for Virtual Environments" challenges students to reconceptualize 3D design within digital and virtual ecosystems, not just as production but as concept creation. Embracing system-based workflows, the course delves into procedural modeling, shader creation, and optimization, all set within a software-agnostic framework. Central to this studio course is the concept of assets as "units of language" within larger digital narratives, driven by the use of design systems to ensure these assets are contextually coherent and resource-efficient. Through hands-on workshops, discussions, and tutorials, participants will master procedural workflows, preparing them to craft assets that are both technically robust and culturally relevant.
