Data is beautiful!
The students will learn how to visualize urban-related data in a meaningful way using Blender and Python. The goal is to make raw data visible by the generic means of program code (Python). The resulting visualizations will be incorporated into urban video footage by using animation and rendering tools of Blender.
The course will start on February 11th with an intense block course on the basics of Blender. You will learn learn how to animate, model, texturize, render. Furthermore we will have a look into motion tracking, the compositor workflow and the game engine of Blender. The aim is to know the software before we start scripting with it.
The case study area is Zurich. You will create video footage of an neighborhood that corresponds with your data and merge them together using Blender and Python. No previous programming knowledge is required.
