The Weekly Amazon - VR 360° 3D Stereo Image
Added 2022-06-06 12:58:54 +0000 UTCSomething completely new for VR fans.
(Don't use the above 360° image, it will look terrible, you must download from the link below, the orig. image is 10 000 x 10 000 pixel, 50 MB)
A 360° Stereoscopic 3D image in near HQ render quality. I'm still tweaking the render settings to find a compromise between render time and quality. A time intensive undertaking, each eye needs about 1 hour render time. A pity the software doesn't allow 180° renderings.
Some time later I will also try this in the game engine, game engines renderings are much faster, but usually just look good on moving pictures, not stills.
In the images above you see a scene overview. Plus 2 pics what you can expect in the stereoscopic 3D view with VR headset. The star in 1 pic shows your position between the 3 girls at about standing eye level.
With a VR player / viewer like "Whirligig" you can change your position within a 1 meter border up and down, left / right and forward / backward.
Tell me your thoughts on this and if you have ideas or wishes for a scene. One idea already, to position the camera on a guy body, so you can look down on "yourself" and compare to the muscle girls. ;-)

I agree with you. The idea is to face VR users with no High End PC, An image can be viewed by every stand alone VR headset. And don*t worry, once I've figured out the best settings, I can set the pre-configured VR camera rig in each scene I produce. But as said before, just VR expierences doesn't pay my bills. This month, Steam releasead again new numbers. Just 2-3% of all Steam users had this month a VR headset connected. How many of these have a muscle girl fetish? We are at an overall percentage (VR+Musclegirl) of about 0.00..1. Please see my dilemma. Getting this financed. I know I am crying and not much delevering VR stuff the last months, I am fighting to keep VR -Amazons alive.
