StudioLab xR is New Media Manitoba’s latest workforce development initiative. It is dedicated to empowering Manitobans with access to cutting-edge technology and expertise. This 6,000sq ft facility space is designed from the ground up to developing next-generation skills in the rapidly evolving world of Extended Reality (XR). This is a 2-day training session totaling 6 hours.Your ticket is valid for both days — no need to register twice! Schedule: Saturday, September 27, and Sunday, September 28 — 10 AM to 1 PM CDT This immersive workshop introduces a cutting-edge AI-to-Unreal Engine workflow that enables participants to render custom 3D scenes in any visual style from Photorealism to Anime using a combination of Blender, Stable Diffusion, and Unreal Engine.The core of this workflow involves generating depth maps from Blender and using ControlNet to guide AI-generated imagery, which is then integrated into Unreal Engine for real-time scene visualization.What You’ll Learn:<ul><li>Build a 3D environment using primitive shapes and array modifiers in Blender</li><li>Create a depth map using Blender nodes</li><li>Use Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to generate AI-driven images</li><li>Import AI-generated images into Unreal Engine as custom map materials</li><li>Export 3D environments from Blender into Unreal and create multiple styled versions in minutes</li></ul>FULL VPN ACCESS - We know that one of the biggest barriers to entry when learning Unreal Engine is having a machine that can keep up. With that in mind, we are happy to offer VPN access to a 4090 workstation with registration for this course. Just login on your local machine and have all the benefits of a production-ready computer.No prior experience required – This course is beginner-friendly and open to anyone curious about AI and 3D workflows. All steps will be clearly explained, making it accessible even if you’ve never worked with Blender, Unreal, or AI tools before.
