This guy figured out back in the year 2000 that VR googles let you look at a woman's boobs without her noticing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B16zqPAzXxQ&t=1045s Edit: The movie also has a Half-Life machinima scene towards the end, HL3 VR confirmed.

The Mechwarrior games, to me, were always but a pale imitation of the awesomeness of the Starsiege mech games. But that's probably because I liked driving the ultra-heavy tanks and fighting mechs by equipping a ram to the front and rocket boosters to the back and driving through enemy legs as their torsos crashed into the ground behind me and exploded (and also, the lore was like 100x better than Mechwarrior, or at least I'm guessing it was since I can remember exactly none of Mechwarrior's lore) What I'm saying is I would explode with happiness if we got a Starsiege reboot in VR. Ah, dreams...

Goddamn Starsiege is fukin' righteous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daCE2PmtCFc Everyone talks about Shodan as the big-badass enemy AI but Prometheus was cool as gently caress as well.

20 years later and every time I see that into, it feels like the first time and I get pumped. edit: I think what I always loved about mechwarior 2, and what the later games lost, was it was clunky and felt like a real weighty powerful mech [i[sim[/i] and not another fps. Same thing that made the old x-wing/tie fighter games so good, and every star wars space shooter since suck in comparison to games from 1993. I wish I was running disney, I would pump out a VR re-release of tie fighter, nothing new, nothing different just a straight vr remake, and collect money from every single nerd with a headset.

I was seriously thinking I'd be immune to VR sickness because I've never been able to become motion sick from a video game (even early virtuality VR stuff, never got headaches from virtual boy either), but the climb demo when I tried a rift at best buy left me feeling ill for hours, though it would have probably been a lot better with touch controllers, the disconnect between what I was doing with my hands and what was going on onscreen was just too massive

Dirt Rally was one of the first games I played after getting a rift, and it made me queasy within about 10 minutes. After a few months and having played other games feeling fine (Elite Dangerous, House of the Dying Sun, even DCS World which had hitching problems), Dirt Rally is still plenty painful. I am wondering now if the controller is that vital to the experience, enough to trick your body and get it in line with your eyes and brain.

Different strokes but i can sit and play dirt rally for hours without feeling a twinge. Put me in an fps without a crosshair or fixed point of reference and im done though. With dirt I use the full cockpit camera mode so i have a fixed frame of reference, in any other camera mode id imagine id become rather ill.

I've got a hotas for flight games, an X52 specifically, and that fits perfectly with E:D since the ingame model is the same design. With the right stick/throttle placement you can sync your hand and arm movement to the game's. If I had more than a casual interest in racing games I'd probably get a wheel anyway, I'm just going to stick to racing on a monitor for now. Tokyo Sexwhale posted:Were you using the cockpit camera? Yep, driver view, not dash. I noticed they added in an option to lock your POV to the car, or to lock it to the road, so the car kinda rotates around you to compensate for bumps. Both modes gave me a headache, but the locked to car one was worse. Gabby_Jay fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Sep 27, 2016 |

Latest photogrammetry test. With this test I've successfully worked out many bugs and issues plaguing me. I'm not sure whats going on with the recording of the video though, I looked at it now and its all blurry on the edges, not sure why, it was all fine and normal in the headset. Oh well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ksOBzNv_E -I was unable to build the mesh all at once due to RAM limitations, forcing me to do it in 5 sections which worked out fine. -To join these sections however, I had to bring each into 3d studio max (the student edition is free which is why I used it), BUT I had to export them in as .OBJ files in Photoscan. If I brought them in as .fbx (the other format destinations can read) the scale would be messed up and they wouldn't be able to be brought back into photoscan for texturing. -To line them up automatically, I had to import the first one, then use import/merge for each additional segment. After that just attach each and make them one large mesh. Pi Mu Rho posted:That is seriously cool as poo poo. I'm glad to see you got to grips with the export/reimport/retexture process that has eluded me so far. -At this point after they were merged and in 3ds max I could make changes, adding shapes. I fixed all the rain gutters, the benches, the roofs, holes in the ground, some posts, art easel, legs to chairs, and some other things here and there. Theres a lot more I could smooth out and fix but, I want to make sure I can go reliably from A>B>C first before investing too much time in fine details (plus I'm really bad at 3d modeling software. I didn't even know how to place a box  ).-The most import step of all of the modding the mesh was making sure i never ever ever moved the main mesh, or the whole thing would be useless. I kept a backup saved periodically just in case this happened and i didn't realize it. -After whatever changes, export it from 3ds max as an .OBJ file again (it and photoscan both asked if I wanted to flip y coordinates or something, but I made sure to deselect anything I thought could move the model.) -Back in Photoscan I made a duplicate of the chunk to make sure it was lined up and as a backup, then on the new chunk I went to tools > Import > Import mesh, and selected the .OBJ file 3ds max created. Once again making sure not to change any coordinates when it asked. -Now that it was back in i could flip between the modified one, and the original chunk just to make sure they were dead on still, then just like normal go to create the texture. This is where I hit another problem, the mesh was far too large for my measly 24gb of RAM to handle making a texture of in one go so I was stumped for a while, but figured out a way around it, thought not as good as if I just had the ram. Thankfully This is far larger than any of the other scenes I wanted to record so I probably will be fine for all the smaller ones. Oh, the whole mesh was about 2.8m triangles. -To get around it I used the select tool in photoscan to cut out sections of the massive mesh. This worked to my advantage because I could concentrate the areas I wanted the most detail together/separate, and make more textures just for them, and fewer textures for the areas without as much detail. -Actually separating them in Photoscan though, I had to select the area I wanted, crop the selection, duplicate that chunk, go back to the original chunk where its still highlighted, then undo the crop, delete the section instead, and start over highlighting the next section I wanted. In the end I ended up with 7 separate meshes in 7 chunks. -Texturing them was straight forward, but for the cabin area I did 6 8k textures, in the farthest area i did 2 8k textures. All together I had 23 8k textures I believe. I now had to restitch all these models again without resorting to trying to eyeball them in hammer map editor or something which is what I did in my multipart cabin interior tests. It was a little trial and error but I got it all down. -This time I had to export them from Photoscan as .FBX files, making sure it included the textures. -Import them again to 3ds max, do the same import/merge process to get them lined up, then save it all as one .FBX file. If I tried exporting them as .OBJ files it screwed up the texture maps royaly so vOv whatever. -This is specific to destinations, but I had another problem when bring it into that, it listed materials 1-23 for my textures, but named them XXX.1-6 for example for the 6 from the cabin mesh, but would then start over at 1 for each set from the other meshes. I had to go on the right side of this screen where it has destinations, and rename the end manually of them so they flowed xxx.1-23 instead.  -Everything from that point worked just fine. I'm sure there's a lot of steps that could be simplified for me, other things I'm doing wrong or not understanding, and this might all be a bit long winded and boring, but I figure if theres anyone else wanting to mess around with this stuff, maybe something here will tick a "oh heyyyy thats what I should try doing". I know it was bloody impossible trying to google answers for basically any issue I had right down the line. Theres a bit of information about photogrammetry out there, but less for capturing large spaces and from a clueless newbie perspective. Pi Mu Rho posted:For the very basics, it's ridiculously simple. Create a new scene, import your mesh (which should be as simple as a drag and drop into the assets), drop it into the scene. Disable shadows on the mesh, or it'll look wrong. Plop in a first-person controller, and you can now stroll around your new environment. Actually, better put in an invisible plane under it so you don't fall through - same goes for any objects you don't want to walk through. If you wanted a Destinations-esque teleport system, that's going to be a bit more complex, but I'm sure there's a couple on the Unity Asset Store that could get you going. Thanks, I think I'll make trying to plop it into unity my next goal. Tom Guycot fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Sep 27, 2016 |

I may have already asked this but is the GTX 1080 that much better than the 1070 for VR? Or would it be better to go ahead and get the 1070 and hope that SLI comes online in a couple years? Not that SLI has really ever caught on, but if there's an application that seems tailor made for it, VR seems to be it.

The 1080 is ~25% faster than the 1070 on average. That's a significant boost, but I'll leave the value judgement up to you. Don't count on SLI being any good for VR any time soon, however.

If you don't want to spend the extra money, a 1070 is just fine. Many games are made to target a 970 and a 1070 is a lot better than that, especially in VR.
