Class 1 What is the role of a tech director Fix problems for the creative director Make things easier for the creative team Build new tools for the creative process If tech direction was a Venn Diagram Further discussion - The Eisenhower Box

In this course we will explore: AI techniques and best practices for artists Generative / procedural art techiques and best practices for artists :::warning :nerd_face: We won't be writing code However, we will be running some deep learning models using iPython Notebooks (both online using Google Colab and locally Jupyter Notebooks). So you will do some basic editing like changing example file names to match the names of the files you upload.

Shaderverse is an open-source generative art platform that lets visual artists create, store (and soon sell) generative art collections that are stored permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain. How it works Artists create procedural art generators using the Geometry Nodes feature of the open-source design tool, Blender. The open-source Shaderverse add-on for Blender adds new features to Geometry Nodes that make it easy for artists to create and store collections permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain. We have developed a protocol that allows for embedding and retreiving art made in Geometry Nodes into Bitcoin Blockchain the through an interface with the Ordinals system. The generative art is retrievable by the open-source shaderverse server which can be run locally on Windows, Linux and Mac machines, inside of Blender, in the cloud, and through hosted solutions at shaderverse.com. This gives artists the opportunity to create genrative art collections that are cost-efficient and where the art generator is stored permanently in every copy of the full Bitcoin Node. Our system allows for the creation of various types of procedural art, including avatars, pets, and abstract art. Why this is exciting
