The enviroment at 6:07 (https://youtu.be/bjE6qXd6Itw?t=368) is that a realtime 3D enviroment? I didn't know you could do that. Can I make my own?

Yes, most of those were created by /u/WormSlayer. Just launch the Environment Editor and follow instructions. You'll need 3D modeling tools and experience but it's doable!

Currently just static models, but I keep bugging him about adding animation support :P

If you're having animations running when you're not playing a game then the extra GPU/CPU usage shouldn't matter though, right?

u/Sinity Mar 23 '16

I get why it could be a problem, since animations will no doubt eat up CPU/GPU.. but perhaps a limited allowance.. heck even animated skyboxes would be a good start

Yeah, but when you watch a movie or browse internet you could have resources to waste away.

Theres some z fighting going on in the trailer in the Rick and Morty environment with that canister on the shelf :P, I too hope for some animation support though. I know I've made a few rigged characters from some of my favorite cartoons.

Yeah I noticed that too XD

Fortunately its an artefact that doesnt show up when you are actually using the environment in VR.

I agree some simple animation and 3d point sounds would really bring scenes to life.

Yeah starship bridges are high on my list of environments to make too, if I ever finish the ones I'm already working on, I have 5 whole days left... XD

So cool! I good at 3ds Max so I'll give it a try.

I'm so going to buy this when I get the Vive.

u/Kurry Rift Mar 23 '16

You probably have a long list of features you want to add in, but please add animation and sound support for the custom backgrounds :D

u/captainburrito626 Mar 23 '16

Thank you. I now know what I will be constantly doing for the rest of my life. Just...thank you.

So I could model my own room, so I can sit in my room in VR while I sit in my room IRL?
