Everyone had a great time at the recent Build Your Own Superhero workshop co-organized and run with Becky and Adam of Codasign.

Over 3 nights (2.5hrs each), fueled by a tasty spread of sliced Italian and French meats, olives, hummus, and the all-important beer and coffee, 4 teams of participants hacked our example code into 4 very different “superheros.”

Jesson Yip and and Nicola Plant created Laura Croft (with Rainbow Shooting Crotch^TM) and MegaMan (complete with a working version of his particle weapon).  Hats off to Jesson for illustrating the characters himself:

Dan and Pollie created “Super-Bach,” a hopped-up version of the venerable composer in digital puppet form, Danny and Stewart pieced together “Batfink” complete with real head (a superimposed live video feed of the participant’s face):

Lori Ho hacked a Harry Potter puppet:

As always, you can find our workshop materials online.  The main materials are at hosted on Codasign’s website and the code is in a github repository (as always, open source).  We’re going to do this workshop again at the Kinetica Festival in February, hope to see you there!
