Watching the Z-fighting progressively getting worse in the Artemis simulation as they get further from 0,0,0 (Earth). #ArtemisII

Haven't finished this yet but it's really a solid VR game. #TheGameAwards @thegameawards.com thegameawards.com/share/nomine...

Of the VR headsets I’ve owned the Bigscreen Beyond 2 has the worst initial setup of all. The extreme fine tuning required of sub-millimeter IPD changes per lens and the trial & error software settings took me two days.. And yet, for all that, lo I have beheld the most immersive virtual reality ever.

The water was inspired by Sea of Thieves (though could never look as good 🌊🥵) and the best way I could find to have large waves in Source 2 was rigging 644 bones... but hey it worked and I am very proud of the result. 😊

I found some WIP images from my High Seas map that I've never posted. (my favorite part is the environment actually simulates boat rocking) a🧵. Workshop Link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #vr #steamvr #steamvrhome

I had to take the 900 photos I needed for this map during brief clear moments between flurries of snowfall. You can still make out some white dots on the model's textures which is some snow. ❄️📷

I'm very happy with how the photogrammetry turned out and how optimized I was able to get it. I know SteamVR Home environments may be niche in VR now but I hope the people who do try it enjoy it.
