Session
To get a "tinkered" look inspired by tinkering workshops, all models of Tinker Dungeon where physically built out of cardboard and scanned via the Lidar scanner of a mobile phone.
Game designer Christoph Rasulis of Brainbite Studios shows, on one side the process of the handcrafted tinkered art creation and scanning, on the other the how to use AI as a creative tool, by connecting Claude with Blender for model optimization and editing with AI. A fast way to create your own prototype!
