Real-Time Worlds
2024 | Visualization Research Centre, HKBU
Project Overview
The seminar, led by Dr Peter A C Nelson, explored how artists use game engines and 3D software as central mediums in their practice, focusing on storytelling through worldbuilding. For each speaker, a customized environment was created, featuring 2D, 3D, and audio content from their artistic work, offering seminar guests an entirely new way to experience these creations. Guests included representatives from M+, CityU, and CUHK, alongside Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. students.
Technical Narrative
By creating 360-degree 3D portfolios for each artist, visitors could deeply engage with the creative process and gain new perspectives on how 3D software and game engines are transforming contemporary art. This setup provided a unique behind-the-scenes view, where 3D models, videos, and essential materials were dynamically displayed. Artists adapted their virtual studios in real-time, enhancing interaction and presenting a multi-layered glimpse into their creative methods. Unlike traditional formats, this platform showcased a wide range of media simultaneously, offering a more interactive exploration of leading 3D artists’ work.
第一部分：專案概述
本研討會 Dr Peter A C Nelson領導, 探討藝術家如何將遊戲引擎和3D軟件作為創作核心媒介，專注於通過世界構建來講述故事。為每位講者量身打造了專屬的環境，包含他們的2D、3D及音頻創作內容，讓參加研討會的來賓能夠以全新方式體驗這些作品。出席者包括來自M+、香港城市大學和香港中文大學的代表，還有本科生、碩士生和博士生。
第二部分：技術敘事
透過為每位藝術家創建360度的3D作品集，參加者能深入參與創作過程，並獲得關於3D軟件和遊戲引擎如何改變當代藝術的新觀點。此設置提供了一個獨特的幕後視角，3D模型、影片和關鍵素材能夠動態呈現。藝術家即時調整他們的虛擬工作室，增強了互動性，並展示了其創作方法的多層次面貌。與傳統格式不同，此平台能同時展示多種媒體，為領先的3D藝術作品提供更具互動性的探索。
