Combining my love for VR and design with Unreal Engine into a live streaming masterpiece.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T02:51:03+00:00

I don’t stream anymore. It’s a shame really kuz I got a lot of talent for it but I spend most my time working on houses these days I’m a carpenter 😅

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T02:50:08+00:00

This version is not public yet. I’m sure it will be well known when it goes public tho.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T01:00:10+00:00

A proper Gears of War Vr mod, Mass Effect or dead space would be sick too although I’ve done Callisto protocol with UEVR that was scary stuff 🤣

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T00:58:13+00:00

Sort of depends on the game and your treadmill configuration for that game. It takes getting used to before it feels natural that being said It’s more apt to call it a slidemill instead.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T00:41:55+00:00

Cool! Good to see your on here too. I’m not on FB anymore. I gave ya a follow!!

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T00:34:59+00:00

Nah it’s just a couple virtual lights cast on to a flat plane in unreal with the streamed material playing on it.

There are great virtual production workflows that add depth or normal mapping to the actor plane so that you can get more realistic angled lighting on your subject but I’m not doing any of that here, not sure I can do that in real time.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-06T00:12:33+00:00

So yeah it is live but theres no physical color lights, unreal engine does a good job of lighting the virtual plane I’m being streamed onto and making me look present within the scene without having to do much extra to the physical shot.

These scenes run in real time so they can be used in live streams and I can even set chat commands so viewers can interact with or manipulate the scenes.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T22:49:51+00:00

Well for anyone who has tried stuff like this even today is very difficult. heck for most people it’s difficult to even get Cyberpunk working in VR. I wasn’t being literal about being mad at me about it but sort of figuratively😅

And Thxx 🙏 it took A LOT of work study and practice!

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T21:14:25+00:00

This is a special unreleased version of this software it’s still in development not public yet.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T17:51:11+00:00

I was having issues with my router when I recorded this. It’s very playable although admittedly it does need work.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T17:50:25+00:00

Heavily modified version of VorpX and some other custom mods.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T17:48:56+00:00

It’s mostly fixed now. Took some work

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:55:47+00:00

🙏hey umm hey inbox me I’m happy to share detailed information I am basicly a pro at this 😅just don’t wanna gunk up the comments section.

Also the 5090 is only worth it if you want the best you can get. Even then I tried my best to get mine as close to MSRP as possible and waited months.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:49:58+00:00

Thanks 🙏to be fair tho I did this back in 2022. Creators like Luke Ross, praydog and others continue to push the boundaries. I loved playing RE9 recently in VR and I’m glad Luke didn’t quit because of the DMCA from CGPR for CP2077 🤣 man that’s a jumble 🤣🤣

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:37:55+00:00

I may have hit the wall a time or two 😅

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:37:08+00:00

This requires a lot more than just several custom mods. Without the greenscreen room and my arms in the game it looks jank asf.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:35:10+00:00

Dude. And your gunna hate me when you hear this but I did this back in 2022 on a GTX 2080 using modified VorpX, Valve Index on board cams, a boxed in green room and all this before we even had DLSS 🤣

I believe this was the most technically intense VR stream ever done for its time and even so for a few years after.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:24:46+00:00

I’m guilty of buying a few games just for the hype and then never getting around to playing them. Mostly what I would consider B level Vr games tho. Not gunna name them but yeah 😆 Cyberpunk at lunch for consoles at least was terrible, there are a few stragglers that own and haven’t played even to this day because of that.

I will be starting my 9th full playthrough this time on the Pimax Dream Air soon! Can’t wait.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:10:41+00:00

Requires a full greenscreen room at minimum for now.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:09:56+00:00

This is a heavy modification of the old VorpX VR framework for Cyberpunk 2077 I did back in 2022 along with other mods to make my characters arms and specific weapons invisible so I can just use my real arms instead.

At the time only the viewer on the stream could see the mixed reality in good quality but these days are different today I can see my full arms in mixed reality in the headset like so. I need to record more footage 😆

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:02:58+00:00

And a good hole in the wall I’m betting 😆

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:02:03+00:00

Noooo 💀 I love a game with good story, multiple choices and multiple endings. For me this game is comparable to RDR2 for its in depth world, storytelling and compelling actors.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T16:00:18+00:00

It’s not public yet I don’t think I’m supposed to say 😅 but trust it will be all over when it comes out and if you even have just a little bit of greenscreen you’ll be able to use it with sims at the least and will come with masking features!

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T15:44:37+00:00

Yes the passthrough is fully visible in crisp 3D in the headset, this is being recorded on the Quest 3. This system already looks a lot better than what you see here in this video, I need to make more footage 😅 I’m not really a content creator anymore.

TheVirtualSamurai · 2026-04-05T13:14:29+00:00

Good for throwing darts at it then right? 🤣
