Workshop: RayTK for volumetric displays (March 12)

Patrons get a 60% discount. Message me through Patreon if you're interested.


This is similar to the "Intro to RayTK" workshop, but it's specialized to focus on using RayTK to create content for LED volumes like the LedPulse DragonO².


In person in Los Angeles, or online.

For online, you won't have access to the LedPulse LED volume, but you can construct a basic one yourself with LED strands. Check out these workshops to learn how to do that:
