vr system

[novel tangle]

i did some crazy blender stuff to get a sort of vr system to work in planet coaster. it works by rendering a 360 video of any scene you want. it then projection maps it onto a plane and then with some magic you get a custom video that matches the perspective of the in game camera at all times and that creates an illusion of depth.
this is just a simple proof of concept but it shows that this has a lot of potential.

here's a link to the google drive with all the files. if i make anything new i will add it there.

Thats insane

It was a lot of work. But now that I have these files it’s super easy. I just need to match the camera movement in blender to the in game camera movement and then render for a few hours.

And of course make the 3D model

i love this so much!

Wow genius concept, this could definitely be used to make some insane builds especially for the dome screen

hope someone makes the new harry potter ride with this technology

i don't think it's going to be in a lot of builds. it's really only worth it for incredibly detailed rides. the video that was played on the screen was a 24 sec video and it took about 4 hours of total rendering time for the 360 video. and then it was about 5 minutes to render what's actually displayed on the screen. so imagine how long that's going to take for more complex scenes. but who knows, maybe someone will take this and do some crazy stuff with it.
