Hello LAVA fans,
we have something really specific planned for the upcoming LAVA meeting on Tuesday, September 28th– 3D manipulation for VJs! We’re going to be showcasing the work of visualists, video artists, and vj’s that work specifically with 3D mapping, 3d animation, and building interactive 3D environments for video mixing.
