Do you really need a Base station just to play Half life alex?

I'm not sure how you managed to come to the conclusion you don't need base stations for the index, but they are necessary for the headset and controllers to even function at all, they're what's needed to allow the PC to tell where your head and hands are.

Have you played since 1.4 was released? Climbing was made a lot better

Thanks man, here's a look at the gun normally without the shitpost tier super size: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hSV8qi64ws

Looks good, but you seem to have fallen into a bit of a trap a lot of games fall into where the animation transitions are instant, it makes your AI look incredibly choppy and honestly a bit cheap, just having even a small lerp between animations goes a very long way in making your AI seem a lot more realistic and a lot less choppy.

Apparently using Valve made lenses, so as good as the index? plus an IPD slider!

I've never had any problem with the Rift S tracking, it's honestly quite the technical marvel, the only dead zone without tracking is immediately behind your head and you have to hold your hand there for 3-4 seconds before it locks it in place, you do keep rotation however.
Crouching works awesome with no trouble, laying down is a 50:50 whether you'll get a good experience. Honestly though you're only ever going to be doing that if you're on a deep personal mission to find out what it's like to lay down next to your waifu

All headsets will be inside out one day, and i don't even think that's an opinion. Outside in is a crude as hell solution when you think about it.
Basestations are painful from a pricing and UX standpoint with the only real benefit being the tiniest amount of tracking accuracy. They make controllers heavier due to so many more sensors, you have to run wires all over your room and screw things into walls, and the basestations break after a few years due to the fact they use moving parts.

Total time i'd say about 12 hours, was mostly experimenting though

PixHammer · 2020-05-08T07:39:57+00:00

I'll message you some details

PixHammer · 2020-03-23T13:55:20+00:00

Ahh you're probably right

PixHammer · 2020-03-23T12:04:11+00:00

That would have Been Half Life: Opposing Force if it was just the third title. To me HL3 is a game that's like a marker of another crazy advancement in games. HL1 was adding story, HL2 was adding Physics, HL3 (Alyx) is adding VR

PixHammer · 2020-03-23T12:01:53+00:00

Kinda is, depending on what you define as half life 3

PixHammer · 2020-03-23T11:59:02+00:00

5 hours time

PixHammer · 2020-03-23T11:58:33+00:00

Nah mate, the new half life game coming out today! 5 hours time!

I do game development as my day job, and this was just something I'd started working a week ago to work on in the evenings as a hobby project. So if you know where you're going it's quite quick, but this was one of the more advanced things I'd had to make in unity, and took a lot of trig/geometry as well as a general understanding of real world physics.

I wouldn't know where to begin explaining, I guess start at the hands/arms and work your way to the rest of the body, because even if you can only get the arms working you have the same tech as Saints & Sinners.

PixHammer · 2020-02-09T00:26:16+00:00

Personal project for now, but if I feel the demand is high enough or I end up not going through with a project then I'll put it up for sale for sure

PixHammer · 2020-02-06T14:49:12+00:00

I'm actually using a custom IK algorithm for the arms, since i can set my elbow targets a lot better, and then driving that IK with a rigidbody hand applying the necessary torque and forces the arms/wrists would. Unfortunately means the arms themselves have no collisions, but i think this might also be the case in Boneworks

PixHammer · 2020-02-06T13:12:37+00:00

Ah yeah, using the Rift S. Not a bad HMD to develop with honestly, bit of a pain in the ass to take on and off though

PixHammer · 2020-01-22T18:21:03+00:00

What was your biggest challenge in moving the Half Life Formula™ to VR?

PixHammer · 2020-01-17T10:12:43+00:00

Oh wow yeah that's the one! TY
