UNI_VERSE presents UNI_VERSITY

UNI_VERSE is an hybrid digital creation studio with its roots in 3D, animation, post,- and content production, but our vision stretches further than this.

We believe in open source, collaborating, experimenting and exploring new ways of pushing the digital landscape towards new realms connecting the digital with the physical world and using compelling and innovative technology while working with the most talented people in the industry.

Because we believe in sharing knowledge within our field of work, we are organising multiple series of workshops. Within these workshops we will let 3D artists and creative coders share their knowledge about animation, design and coding.

Think of software like Cinema4D, TouchDesigner, Unity, ARKit, ARCore, Z-Brush, Blender, Substance Painter and programming languages like JavaScript , Python, C++
