Browse our diverse range of rooms and activities on day two of Vertex.
* ALL ACCESS passes only
20+ WORKSHOPS IN GAMES, ANIMATION & ILLUSTRATION *
The world’s leading artists from the VFX, concept art and illustration industries are on hand to give you insight into how they work and create. You’ll learn new techniques in a variety of mediums and come away from these talks inspired to create your own work. Rooms include the Polygon room, the Pixel room and the Render room. We'll be joined by Karla Ortiz, Lois Van Baarle, ILM, Even Mehl Amundsen, Izzy Burton and many more!
DRINK & DRAW *
After a day of learning, some much needed unwinding is needed. We're providing drinks at the botanical drinkery Pergola along with A3 boards so you can squeeze out any remaining creative juices. Whether you're Picasso with a Peroni or Da Vinci with a Diet Coke you'll be catered for!
