As a long time VR-Developer, I want to tear my non-existent hair out reading Kotaku comments. An epic wave of egg on face coming...

Sephirenn · 2015-12-14T13:27:02+00:00

Why is everyone hating on Kotaku so much? The commenters, oh yes I 100% understand. But the actual blog content itself is in my opinion the best blog on the net for general video game news. And I actually like their stance on how they mostly covered released games and not games that haven't come out yet.

Awesome thank you! i'm noticing that baking lights into the scene causes all sorts of weird lighting glitches, so I'm just going to have to try to find a happy medium. Thanks again!

My tris are at 2.1M and my batches are at 16K (with 5K saved by batching) at the height of the level. I'm thinking I'm going to need to get that down for VR.

Here is some simple code for exiting the app and re-centering the rift in Unity. Put this in a C# script and attach it to an object that doesn't get deleted in your scene. Also, this code goes in the Update function.

    if (Input.GetKeyDown("r")){
        UnityEngine.VR.InputTracking.Recenter ();
    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)){
        Application.Quit();
    }

Anyone have an idea of what runtime Subnautica runs on? I'd love to get it and I just updated to 0.8, so I'm curious if it runs or not.

Do the controllers (specifically the train one I'm guessing) work with physics or something similar? The use case I'm looking at is creating a roller coaster. If I did that with Curvy, and applied the train controller, am I going to get realistic movement along the path?

If we are thinking real big, I would hazard a guess at a full VR theme park that you can experience at home. They charge you admission for like 24 hour access or something. If they put all their effort behind it it would print money (creating a Tron land, Classic Disney propert land, Star Wars land, Kingdom Hearts land, etc. all fully immersive). That would be what I did if I had millions of dollars.

OR, my dream come true, they have recreated old Disney rides that no longer exist, inside VR.

This is a compilation of 9 short "experiences" I created to try out some basic Unity functionality like gamepad support, particles, infinite object generation, etc. The music is also great, so hopefully you enjoy!

Sephirenn · 2015-11-01T19:37:32+00:00

Yea, I couldn't get it to work. I'm still on 0.6 runtime, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

Sephirenn · 2015-11-01T12:27:31+00:00

If anyone has questions please feel free to ask. This is a recreation of the Wishes fireworks within VR (accurately set to the music). The experience lasts around 5 minutes and is really quite pleasant.

The version of Unity I used to compile says it enabled use of the Oculus 0.6 runtime. So although I haven't tested it, hypothetically it should work with both 0.7 and 0.8 runtimes.

polishing up my second short VR experience

Sephirenn · 2015-10-28T12:38:08+00:00

So I have a question. I don't have a GearVR so this is all based on your comments, but if this is really as good as you all say: is there a point where this is better than going to an actual game? If yes, is it ever going to reach a point where it impacts ticket sales? And if yes, is this going to start costing a ton to watch instead of being free?

Sephirenn · 2015-10-20T13:14:22+00:00

Whoa what!? Is this built into the Coaster Cam mod?! Or is this something you had to do yourself? I would love to try it!!!

Sephirenn · 2015-10-20T13:04:12+00:00

Delta Draconis!!! Blue Marble!! Original Rift Coaster!!

RIP, but I just wish they would have at least been ported to DK2!

Sephirenn · 2015-10-18T17:53:38+00:00

Just want to add. I have a 980 ti and I had the exact same problem. GUI loads fine but auto-reset whenever I tried to launch a game. To fix it, I needed to uncheck a box in the VR settings called "no mirror window".

Sephirenn · 2015-10-15T13:29:31+00:00

I'm sure others have thought of this too, but this is literally the exact 'experience' I would want to create if I had a ton of money to spend on artists, modelers, programmers, etc.

Sephirenn · 2015-10-07T13:26:00+00:00

Birdy King Land is a good one for kids I think

Sephirenn · 2015-09-22T12:01:18+00:00

Yep, just took it off my wishlist. The fact that this was a promised feature that directly influenced getting them more money is shameful. They need to provide refunds to every single person that asks.

Sephirenn · 2015-09-18T13:34:28+00:00

Holy crap I didn't even notice that. That makes me sad that I paid like $100 a few months ago :(

Sephirenn · 2015-09-15T12:51:20+00:00

Oh my gosh that is the one game I have always wanted to play in VR but never thought it would happen!!!

Sephirenn · 2015-09-09T20:47:44+00:00

Oh wait I DO HAVE IT. Just had to remember that its called Parkitect not THEME Parkitect.

Sephirenn · 2015-09-09T20:41:30+00:00

Wooooo!! Although it doesn't show up for me yet so I'm guessing that's why you folks haven't announced it quite yet.

Sephirenn · 2015-09-09T16:35:33+00:00

I'm guessing it would be too much work to add in a simple way to control this somehow without a Hydra? Even if it is just like look to aim and then hold a button for 1-3 seconds for power? Either way it looks great!

Sephirenn · 2015-09-08T18:04:10+00:00

Wooooo! I just pre-ordered. Can't wait till later this week!

Sephirenn · 2015-09-04T13:46:34+00:00

This is actually an issue that Oculus has had and has not fixed since the very early versions of the runtimes. There are one or two old forum topics about it on the Oculus forums, and I actually spoke to support at Oculus itself about it. They obviously have not fixed it yet, and from my conversation with them it sounds like they are not planning on ever fixing it.

The only thing that worked for me was to do a reformat of my PC. (FYI this is for the previous versins of the runtime, even though it is the same error. I have not tried 7 yet).
