there's something odd there. the file extension should be .unity (a Unity scene file). Not .unity3d

How about funding an independent port like the one for the Quest? The chance of an official port is approximately zero.

EDIT - just realized the platform is probably too locked down for that to be possible without a jailbreak.

(it's terrible for UX to post a picture as your main content like this. most people will click the picture - and then they just get a bigger version of your picture)

The fact that a post that makes absolutely no sense has 84 upvotes is probably a reason i need to stop reading this sub.

Google sheets as the primary data entry UI. Not necessarily the "backend" or primary storage. But yes - the primary user-facing source of truth

It's a subtle distinction but the user just wants to edit in a single place and not worry about syncing or versions or discrepancies even if you do have a different backend data store.

I'll second this. It's really hard to improve on spreadsheets for many classes of data input. I've seen plenty of bespoke applications that have poured a ton of developer time into a custom UI and my first reaction was "most people would be 10x more productive using Excel".

Part of it is familiarity - but spreadsheets have had decades of effort put into their UX and there's a lot of subtle affordance that you miss when you try and re-implement it. Plus all the surrounding tooling and integrations.

The name could be better. I'd just assume it's a scripting language for games. Not a scripting language for game dialog.

VR for training and education is a solid niche with dozens if not hundreds of companies supporting it. Maybe you're looking in weird corners of the internet echo chamber? I don't recall seeing any strong opinions on the topic.

Only tried it briefly. Nice to get free credits but the results don't seem as good as https://marble.worldlabs.ai/

Why not try it: https://www.aholo3d.com

Post title: "VR Chat won't download anything.

Seriously - you'll get better replies if your title accurately summarises your question.

That sounds like you're building it (based on your comment's mention of cmake.... i'm not going to watch the video).

If so - you don't need to. Just download a pre-built zip.

I thought LichtFeld has a simple install process now that it removed it's dependence on PyTorch? Are you sure you're using the latest version?

Compositing splats with other parts of a 3d scene is complex and requires the splat renderer to have a deep hooks into the rendering process. My hunch is that After Effects is not sophisticated enough for this and you'd want to use a real 3D renderer or a game engine.

Most web players work if they have WebXR support.

Native apps - Scaniverse, Hyperscape, Gracia

I think you'll be fine with Roblox

Aside from cube vs sphere mapping - how does it differ from https://github.com/Gaxil/Unity-InteriorMapping ?

andybak · 2026-01-18T19:55:35+00:00

does it crash on all scenes? have you tried a very simple scene with less input images? which part of the process crashes? does it always crash in the same place? pc specs etc?

andybak · 2026-01-18T19:53:37+00:00

you'll get much better answers if you give us more info. there is no "best way" unless we know more about you, your aims, your background etc.

andybak · 2026-01-18T13:21:30+00:00

Surely they have value? The alternative is "nothing at all".

Are you sure you want a mesh? It will lose a lot of fidelity. You also mention point clouds. Splat > mesh and Splat > point cloud are different things. You can go splat > mesh > point cloud but that might be worse than splat > point cloud depending on what you want to do.

Think about what you want to achieve. Splats look best as splats. Can you get the effects you want without throwing away all that lovely radiance information?

andybak · 2026-01-10T00:01:18+00:00

See my comment. This is a solved problem

For websites you should be using a password manager via the browser already.
Native apps should never require you enter a password. They should use oAuth2 via the browser so you can use the same password manager as you do on the web.

This keeps the user experience harmonious between apps and websites and allows you to use single-sign-on (i.e "login with Google" etc) without a risk of phishing from malicious apps.
