How 3D Design Is Used in the Real World - From AI and Engines to Fabrication and VFX - PART 1
Workshop 2: How 3D Design Is Used in the Real World - From AI and Engines to Fabrication and VFX (2026)
Number of Sessions: 2
Duration per Session: 2 hours 15 minutes
Description
This workshop explores how 3D Design is actually used in the real world today, across games, film, immersive experiences, product design, and physical making. Participants will see how 3D Design connects digital creativity with fabrication, prototyping, VFX, engines, and emerging AI tools.
Rather than focusing on technical depth, the session highlights real workflows, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Participants will follow examples of how a single 3D Design idea can become a digital experience, a screen-based output, or a physical prototype, and how AI is increasingly used as a creative support tool rather than a replacement for human ideas.
