Video Game for Art
During this two-days workshop, you will discover the potential of the Godot libre video games engine. Through a series of small demos, you will get familiar with the various aspects of real-time 3D projects: importing objects; creating materials; managing lighting and cameras; and introducing interactivity with scripting!
This workshop will focus on using these tools in an artistic context, in particular through the OSC protocol. OSC will allow Godot to communicate with other softwares more commonly used in the field of digital art, like SuperCollider, Puredata, IanniX, and more!

The OSC GDnative module for godot is on its way in gitlab.
In the meanwhile, we have compiled a standalone version of Godot 3.0 including the gdosc library. The executable is available here:

A small training about how to use fonts and curves in blender targeted to graphic designer of OSP. The intend is also to evaluate the influence and interest of 3d software in print workflows.
This is an internal event.

Soft skin
Currently working on a library of skinning called SofSkin. It’s purpose is to make skinning in a different way: less rubberish and more mesh/geometry-oriented. The idea is to use edges of the mesh as springs that tries to recover their initial length by pulling/pushing on the vertices. The lexical field is focused on anatomy, to keep the code lifefull.
The integration in godot is on its way, as shown in this video:
The repository is hosted in gitlab: https://gitlab.com/frankiezafe/SoftSkin

“The currently dominant 3D graphics and simulation paradigm, based on triangle/polygon meshes, is fundamentally flawed. Meshes only model surfaces – a hollow and thus very incomplete approximation of reality. Mesh content creation is complex and technically demanding; costly with high barriers of entry. Many layers of “hacks” (e.g. UVs) make editing and distributing mesh assets prohibitively cumbersome.”
The atomontage engine is shifting the paradigm of 3D from surfaces to volumes. A super interesting point of view. I will start a research on libre project have the same approach!

Custom export python script for blender and custom import javascript for threejs to enable morphing of vertex normal in morph targets. It might seems a bit technical, but without this, the object loaded in threejs doesn’t react to light correctly: without this export, if faces change direction after deformation, the lack of normal morphing implies that the illumination of faces is not correct. Try without, it will be clear 🙂
Test it here:
Or check this video:
Anyway, the script is here: faces https://github.com/frankiezafe/Blender-scripts/blob/master/custom_threejs_keyshapes_export.py, with some javascript in comment to load it.
Enjoy!

First “official” screenshots of Sisyphus, a web experiment in collaboration with Simone Niquille.
It is available in itch.io also: https://frankiezafe.itch.io/sisyphus, and I will try to post development logs there instead of here. To follow them, just check the bottom of the itch.io page.
