Game engines are tools available for game designers to code and plan out a game quickly and easily without building one from the ground up. Whether they are 2D or 3D based, they offer tools to aid in asset creation and placement. At the kick-off the focus will be on\u00a0Game Engines for creating interactive real-time art.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody can participate in the kickoff. Virtual Cinema Lab describes it as:<em> \u201cIf you know something about games or game engines \u2013 great if not, trhat\u2019s also good.\u201d<\/em> The sessions are based on peer-to-peer learning and the focus is on learn and explore together. The attendees will thereby not become proficient in one particular thing or get a theoretical understanding of all the functions, but to gain a general, practical insight into what is possible with each tool.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2540 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/dsc00459-2-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC00459-1-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/dsc00647-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC00647-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC00647-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/DSC00647-scaled-1200x1200.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/fi\/ar_02-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/studios.aalto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/AR_02-256x256.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monthly_learning_session\"><\/span>Monthly learning session<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>At the kick-off, it is possible to sign up and join our monthly peer learning sessions to explore how we can use the tools and conventions of game developers for making art.

In addition, the sessions will dive deeper into exploring the possibilities of art and technology.
