BRCvr Behind the Scenes<\/a> is an AltspaceVR<\/a> tribute world based on experiences leading up to BRCvr 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The inspiration for this “vignette world” occurred when Doug Jacobson from BRCvr<\/a> conveyed his story via Discord of enduring a major power outage just before the official launch of BRCvr 2021. In the spirit of “when it rains it pours” the story includes use of a generator for laptop power and a phone for internet access all while navigating the moving target of “The Great AltspaceVR Update of 2021” – fortunately the Altspace update was not scheduled to happen until after the event – but pulling together the virtual Burning Man event was challenge enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This world was an exercise in completely modeling, texturing and lighting a mini AltspaceVR world from the ground up. All models were created from scratch in Blender, the textures in Photoshop and final assembly and lighting in Unity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound was scrounged from the inter-webs, cut into a loop and placed as 3D spacialized audio for the generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking the lightmap was particularly challenging in that the shadow cast by the card table was absolutely horrible on the first couple of tries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horrible shadows from card table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After much trial and error I ultimately discovered that it was because I had removed the underside face of the card table in an attempt at pre-mature optimization. Once the underside face of the table was restored and the lighting re-baked all was well with the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, good shadows!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was a great exercise in world creation after only starting this VR journey a couple of months ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
