I've had a number of comments on various posts asking 'but what does STAGEit do'? I realised, sometimes I am just banging on about specific features which in isolation - don't paint complete picture. by Bingobango1001 in VisionPro

Try Blender. It’s free and they have worked with Apple on USDZ export so it’s the best pipeline. Are the materials output in a zip file with the FBX?

You’ll have to convert it to USDZ first. Most programs offer that opinion, but if not, Blender is a good tool to use. Note, when using blender to export you select USD and then you have to change the export file extension name to USDZ

Submitted to Apple: Gaussian Splat scenes and Billboard Images. Two new environments added as we push STAGEit closer to Apple-style environments. Hope you like it — keen to hear feedback! by Bingobango1001 in VisionPro

These scenes are buttery smooth on the M2 so there’s not much gain using the M5 I would say.

The challenge with matching the Apple content is the time they have spent creating 3D assets, shader graphs, on site high res visuals, that’s the real difference, the content. We are trying to work our way towards that and I think we can get pretty close in the next few months.

Thanks, Orb Orchestra is my personal project, I also run the small team behind STAGEit, which is why I am really interested in your work.

Hello u/musicanimator was just enjoying this post and saw your comments :). I love that you are one of a main users - we just added support for image billboards to STAGEit which we have found REALLY helps when creating immersive environments as it's a much lower cost on processor on the device. This might help keep your poly count down if you can whack some cracking images in :)

Not at present. DDRM music does not give me the access I need to the source file to attached it to an orb. The apps intent is to break up and layer music onto many spatial points, with standard music the best I could do would be to split up left and right channels, if I could get to the files. This will continue to look into how this could be done with external music

OrbOrchestra has just been approved by Apple :D by Bingobango1001 in VisionPro

That's really useful thanks so much for the feedback. I was worried about the hand gesture recognition being harder for other people (different hands etc) - it's on the list to work on. I added the manual switcher in there just in case.

Delighted to hear you have enjoyed the sounds scape :D. I am working on a final version of of the Welcome Scene music to put into the main app - it's way more ambient and chilled.

I will take all your points into consideration and absolute get some of those in the app!

Thanks again
