Berlin is a wonderful city - maybe we'll make the trip this time as my wife and I want to visit the city again and come to the party :)

will there be an indoor sleeping spot? (would also sleep below the table if allowed xD)

krl: sleeping inside the hall will be possible again, we might also be able to provide a designated sleeping hall again, but we need to verify this with the location. Will be able to tell for sure in 2 weeks time, after the next meeting with them.

sorry if this was unclear:
- sleeping inside the main hall: yes
- designated sleeping hall: maybe, we need to double check.

How do you do, fellow kids?

After the smash success that was the 1 cube 1 plane challenge that dominated last year's 3-D compo, let's try to repeat that and make it even better :)

For that I've updated my text on how to do anaglyph in a way that it doesn't suck at the party place, now with tips on how to set up your renderer and a link to an example (which actually won last year's compo):

https://gist.github.com/kebby/e6ca7c40e276a30727f59de25d5c2dae

Basically: There's a lot of physics involved in stereoscopic imaging on a big screen, it's really easy to screw it up in a way that completely kills the 3D effect and makes people's brains hurt, and your home setup really isn't a good indicator of whether it works at the party. Better science this, for great success!

Listen to this guy, he is right! Source: Did exactly what he suggested last year; worked perfectly.

Read the TLDR of kb's thing to adjust for the big screen.

So… Make the 3D better in general, or is "1 plane, 1 cube, 1 better" this year's challenge? :)
added on the 2023-08-17 13:08:54 by losso losso
I meant the former, aka make the 3D better, but that already is a challenge :D

(just not THE challenge. If there's a "the" challenge. We'll find out.)

More news:

Return of the sleeping hall
As in pre-covid times, we will be able to provide a separate sleeping-hall in the backstage area again, we hope that will make your plannings easier. If your plan to sleep there please make sure to bring a proper "Isomatte"/ sleeping pad and sleeping bag with you because although the room is heated the floor could be cold. Pro tip: You can bring a hot-water bag and fill it at the Infodesk to have it warm and cuddly. ;)

Seminar speakers wanted
Did you work on something cool that you want to present as a seminar or workshop to a bigger audience? We have free seminar slots available! Contact us at contact(at)demoparty.berlin
