Digital Media Commons (DMC) Workshop

One of the attractive features of Tableau for data visualization is that it can produce maps in addition to common charts and graphs. Although Tableau’s map feature is limited compared to a full-fledged GIS application, it is a useful option to plot geographic data or to show how data elements are spatially distributed. In this workshop, the following mapping topics will be covered.  

Participants will learn how to model procedurally using Blender geometry nodes.

Participants will learn how to model procedurally using Grasshopper nodes.

This short course will go over a few basic concepts of photography, including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and provide some simple tips to improve the quality of your photos.

Participants will learn how to create a very basic logotype for the DMC. The characters of the logotype will be made from scratch using Illustrator's tools.

Viewers will get a demonstration of how to create realistic models of furniture for renderings. The first model to be made is a polygon model of a leather couch. Viewers can then request other furniture to be modeled.

Zoom has become an essential tool for us to participate in meetings, classes, and all sorts of collaborative work while we work remotely. Are you still looking for a solution to a Zoom problem? Do you have a tip or trick that you wanted to share with your colleagues? Come to this Zoom meetup for quick Zoom show-and-tells and a Q&A.

The show-and-tell part will cover the following topics.

Participants will learn how to make an illustration of myelin.

Although the artwork is geared towards bioscience, participants of all disciplines are welcome to join!

This course will go over the basic aspects of digital photography and focus on helping to familiarize you with how a camera works and the common terminology. If you have a camera, it is recommended you bring it to the course, otherwise you may check one out from the DMC to follow along.
