Advanced techniques for real-time, high-performance data manipulation
POPs Advanced Techniques builds on the foundations you’ve already established with POPs. Led by audiovisual artist and creative coder Darien Brito, this course dives deep into new and emerging workflows, highlighting practices that replace obsolete methods and open possibilities that were previously impossible.
You’ll explore the strategic use of GLSL within POPs — when to rely on operators, when to leverage shaders for simplicity, speed, or raw power — and understand how to design systems that are both flexible and performant.
By focusing on advanced workflows and practical problem-solving, this course empowers you to push POPs further than ever, whether for complex projects, real-time installations, or high-performance generative systems.
