Rec Room Studio

[trail sapphire]

never been banned

[cedar badge]

Anyone has rrs?

[broken kite]

def weird then

[trail sapphire]

no one has rrs yet

[broken kite]

release is early november

ill let y'all know what they say to my email

tomorrow

gn

[ivory cosmos]

Probably at the end of the event or something

[plush dawn]

So COOL !

[fossil yoke]

We will be able to add particles in our rooms? Like rain, snow and thunder

Because you can’t do a lot of things with emitters that would really enhance your environment

[copper rain]

we should be able to. I mean "Unity's particle system" is a built-in package.

[fossil yoke]

I’m hoping we can

[cedar badge]

Will everyone that signed up for beta of rrs will get it or they will select like how screen share

[copper rain]

My guess is its gonna be like screen share but since they are releasing 100 candidates in waves (I think don't quote me on that), it will pretty much be a check for if your a troll or not.

[slate lily]

@graceful fulcrum can we use rr studios on our contest map?

[copper rain]

Right now you won't be able to use RRS on contes maps. Mainly because of the unfair advantage for other platforms besides pc

[still pollen]

select them

[sour coyote]

Right now you won’t be able to use RRS on contest maps… mainly because it isn’t out yet

[proper bridge]

I just filled out the google form for rec room studio

[still pollen]

Nice.

[proper bridge]

I really want it because then I would actually be able to make good maps because for some reason I suck with the maker pen

[still pollen]

Me too

I’m a CV2 person

[proper bridge]

I haven’t really tried CV2 yet

I have been playing since the first rec centre so i think I might be chosen

[dry fjord]

This is gonna be so cool if we can use it helping the rec room community would be so much fun plus a lot easier 😋

[still pollen]

Wait 2016 days

I’ve played since 2021 and I have the desktop share screen

[plush dawn]

With rec room studio we can get back the old rec center

[unborn turret]

true

[grand crag]

It depends on the performance running in the room with RRS. Sometimes it drops a bit and some players when entering the room made with RRS can be a little lag for them.

[proper bridge]

I’m just worried about the the ink cost

[broken kite]

That really sucks because I have quite the ban history from when I was immature and did a lot of trolling (this was like a year ago)

[slate lily]

Imo, I think they should allow rr studios on contest maps but make it it’s own category, like #quest #RRS, or #game #RRS

[old ravine]

Yeah that would be a good idea

[slate lily]

It will allow for people to have only makerpen to participate and have a fair advantage over people who have RRS

[old ravine]

Maybe it wouldn’t be set in place until RRS isn’t in a early access beta?

[slate lily]

Ya I do agree with that

I was asking for when RRS is out of bets. I should have said that 😓

[old ravine]

I heard people are getting emails for the first release of it, not very sure on how true it is

[slate lily]

It is, I got it

[old ravine]

Dam

Lucky

What does it look like?

[slate lily]

It’s a form you fill out

[old ravine]

Omfg

Another form

[slate lily]

It’s not out yet but given the fact that they are sending our forms for be I expect to see it within a few weeks

[old ravine]

Dam they slow

Well, it’s rec room so nvm they are always slow.

[slate lily]

No I see nothing wrong with it

Im excited at the fact we are getting Unity tools

[old ravine]

Yeah now I don’t to because of how slow they do emails by default

[old ravine]

Same

[slate lily]

They are 500x better than what we have with makerpen

[old ravine]

Once I get access to my pic again Imma get it if it’s out

[old ravine]

Ikr

[slate lily]

We can upload custom textures

[old ravine]

Like terrain

[slate lily]

However

[old ravine]

That to

[slate lily]

Since they are looking for Machine learning engineers so I’m assuming they are making a way to prevent people from porting how should we say Nsfw models

However that’s a guess im not confirming anything

[old ravine]

Oh yeah, that

[mint holly]

Umm buddy, you used the wrong to/too/two, two would be the better option here. Do'nt let this happen again. It may seem harmless but it ruins the reputation of us Recroomians.

[slate lily]

💀

[old ravine]

Bru

[old ravine]

“Recroomains” 💀

[mint holly]

Recroomians*

[old ravine]

Can you stop correcting me please?

[slate lily]

Ehh let it slide who cares

[old ravine]

I don’t really find is funny when people correct me.

[slate lily]

Let them be them selves, let you be you and don’t let others tell you otherwise

[copper rain]

My guess is no because think of how much of rec rooms population actually play on pc.

[copper rain]

spoiler.

[slate lily]

Better safe than sorry 🤷‍♂️

I honestly don’t know

[analog yarrow]

I got Mail POG

[tacit geode]

Honestly studio having its own category in contests doesn't sound bad

[analog yarrow]

Bad news people with bad connection example 1.5MB/s will not get in the custom room from rec room studio example me with 1.5 MB/s I cant Join The Showdown , Staff If you reading Can Delete that thing kick for long download map from rrs i cant play showdown 😭 @active Staff

[lofty coral]

L

[ivory cosmos]

They probably (hopefully) thought of that

[tropic wyvern]

Wait 10 minutes for it to crash you to your dorm, then you should be able to join just fine until you restart the game
Allowing people with really slow connections to play easily isn't possible with high-quality studio sounds and models
Luckily, it seems like rooms like ^HauntSociety don't take nearly as long to load

[analog yarrow]

im tried 70 times :/

[tropic wyvern]

😔

[analog yarrow]

This Is Why Devs Need To Delete That Kicking to Dorm For long downloads

[copper rain]

Well its really hard to tell if someone is infinite loading or not. And tbh I got tired of constantly restarting my game after 2-5 rooms loaded.

[unborn turret]

thank you, it worked !

[ivory cosmos]

started creating some assets to use in studio later

[unborn turret]

that's cool

[tropic wyvern]

looks good

first thing I need to finish is a movie theater for @grand crag

[undone basalt]

epic move

[serene harness]

portals end up being 50 ink

[limpid glade]

sweet

[blissful ore]

Nice H o l a

[grand crag]

Nice assets you did.

[keen stone]

Alright I'm gonna guess the new haunt society game is made with rec room studio

[cedar badge]

When rrs officially released, everyone will be able to get rrs or it's will be like screen share forever?

[keen stone]

If so then rec room studio is gonna be great

Because the game was beautiful

[copper rain]

yep

[copper rain]

And shockingly enough I would hope to say that what was showcased is a very simple and stylized example of rrs.

[still pollen]

yes

[mystic thorn]

The road reminds me of unturned for some reason

[still pollen]

already created a unity project for rrs.

[copper rain]

Ngl RRS is great advertising to get people trying out unity 🤣
(But unity's particle system is cool though)

[unborn turret]

yeah

[mystic thorn]

Hey, that’s pretty cool

[ivory cosmos]

added some more geometry node stuff. geometry nodes are so useful to quickly model things procedurally
need some good textures tho

[grand crag]

I have absolutely zero motivation to learn how to use geometry nodes lol

[ivory cosmos]

its very useful for simple meshes you are gonna be creating a lot off, so you dont have to repeatedly manually create for example the roads. now i just move a curve and the road moves with it

can be a huge time saver

imaging having the manually model this, i did this in less than a min

[keen stone]

Neat

Too bad I don't have anything that can handle Unity

[copper rain]

Ive been thinking about making my own shader that uses perlin noise to procedurally generate water puddles. Don't know how well it will work out but this makes me want to try it despite of not having unity shader knowledge.

[ivory cosmos]

You probably can’t use shaders in RRS tho

Geometry nodes is a blender thing

[copper rain]

yeah, ehh. Still would be a fun thing to learn even if it means use case is only for standalone game.

[ivory cosmos]

The shader graph is pretty easy to understand

[still pollen]

i think you can

it’s a unity thing

[ivory cosmos]

Yea, but we can’t code in RRS

So idk

[still pollen]

vrc shaders will work i think

[ivory cosmos]

Idk abt that

I wouldn’t get your hopes up

[still pollen]

I hope they integrate scripting (VRChat Udon or CV2) later in the development cycle.

[ivory cosmos]

Probably not, they have a perfectly fine working cv2 ingame already

But being able to add cv2 via RRS would be cool

[still pollen]

Yes

[ivory cosmos]

Then I could try to make a code to cv2 thing

[still pollen]

going afk now

brb

[undone basalt]

There is not custom shaders in Studio, see the video: https://recroom.com/studio

[ivory cosmos]

What a shame

[still pollen]

Oh rip, RR disabled it

[warm bison]

Is the reason for that because of quest 2?

[still pollen]

Idk

[undone basalt]

I don't know why

[copper rain]

I feel like the reason if it wasnt for PS tos would be platform support.

[copper rain]

But if we had shaders then raytracing sounds pretty cool

[still pollen]

Wonder if they will add a basic coding system like VRChat’s SDK2 Triggers and Actions system but all the events are like CV2 events.

[copper rain]

They use unity event system for triggering unity based assets with cv2

[warm bison]

Quest 2 is hitting a solid 60fph

[copper rain]

Suddently the headset turns into a blender render for a realtime setting

[undone basalt]

Please watch the video! There is info on this

[still pollen]

Already watched it earlier lol.

[warm bison]

Do it again

[still pollen]

Watched

[dire bridge]

Time to make a test terrain thingy in unity

Going to make a village as my first RR studio room using a modular village asset pack

[granite obsidian]

i hope its not gonna be like so only buidling teams get access to rr studio early and the rest get left out

[unborn turret]

fr

[unborn turret]

are people already getting it ?

[mystic thorn]

I’m going to sign up for it when I get back on my PC

[rigid minnow]

no

[unborn turret]

oh cool

[olive berry]

Is there a way that your counting ink for a custom object

[quartz sand]

Maybe polygons?

[fading ocean]

Knowing Rec Room, they're not gonna put too much faith in the creators so it would be imaginable that they have some sort of limit based on polygons or some shit

[proper bridge]

Wait did rec room studio come out or something

[velvet yew]

Any particular reason they need our real name? Would it even matter if I just put in a fake name?

[unborn turret]

no

i don't think so

[proper bridge]

It might be to tell if we make a duplicate form

[unborn turret]

yeah

i made 2 forms

[proper bridge]

Next thing you know rec room will ask for your banking info with the 3 wacky didgets on the back

[unborn turret]

yes

funny

[proper crystal]

They wouldn't do that

[unborn turret]

🤓

[proper bridge]

Rec room plus be like

[proper crystal]

what da heck man

[proper bridge]

Did someone get auto banned or something because of a gif

[proper crystal]

who gets banned for posting a Gif

[proper bridge]

Idk maybe it triggered funny keywords

[proper crystal]

Dyno has been on my back all day

[unborn turret]

tenor gifs are blocked because of low effort rec room memes

[grand crag]

#1025534757393682493 message

[proper crystal]

Makes sense

[proper bridge]

Also how

[proper crystal]

You can just make a custom one

[unborn turret]

did you copy me

i made the exact same thing few days ago

[proper crystal]

nah i've seen like 50 people with it

[grand crag]

when rec room studio release

[proper bridge]

Idk

[proper crystal]

lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[copper rain]

I wonder if its actually possible to make a custom discordRPC.dll for rec room without getting EAC to be mad at you.

[fading ocean]

i would really love it if rec room added their own discord integration tbh

"join room" etc

[velvet yew]

Alright, I submitted my application
Don't think I had to write a full essay including proofreading etc for the last two questions considering the fact that it was supposed to be a 10 minute survey but who cares

[unborn turret]

lol

i hope everyone here get's rrs tbh, i wanna see what people do with it

[velvet yew]

(essay being a bit of an exaggeration but it was still a decent amount of sentences)

[light forum]

Is that the same survey thats in here? https://recroom.com/studio

[velvet yew]

Yes

[light forum]

Ok good

[grand crag]

Nice

[night snow]

Sounds useless

[valid rapids]

it is kinda

[ivory cosmos]

could you be more positive for once?

[copper rain]

Not to a person learning API's.

[little geyser]

For a social game that has had a Discord community since the beginning, it's pretty odd how it lacks Discord integration

[copper rain]

Probably not a high priority. I mean again how many people actually play on pc compared to every other platform

[small grotto]

How will ink with RRS work

[mint holly]

like this

[undone basalt]

no way

[small grotto]

yes way

[stuck bison]

looks good

[elder sorrel]

ong

[faint bane]

impossible

[cedar badge]

Rec room Studio, W H E N?

[still pollen]

idk

[grand crag]

Last year

[rugged umbra]

January 1st, 1969

[grand crag]

Real

[cedar badge]

We are in future

[grand crag]

We are in the present 🎁

[copper rain]

Oh so Get universal seconds is counting how long its been since release after a year of its release

[grand crag]

Yes

[cedar badge]

The early access should be tomorrow I believe

[small holly]

source?

[grand crag]

That's when the form closes. I don't think there's any source on when it's coming out tho

[unborn turret]

It's definitely coming out this year, or at least i hope so

[hot ravine]

Guys I figured out how to get RRS faster (real)

Step one, build a space ship with a real working frame-shift drive, travel to space at 82%c (c represents a universal constant. The speed of light in a vacuum) travel at this speed for 6 seconds, come back to earth and it’s been 6 days. Time dilation is neat.

[grand crag]

works. i can confirm

[night snow]

Guys I figured out how to get rec room studio early

https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive

[hot ravine]

Oh yeah, will it be a completely different version of unity, or an sdk/unity package like vrchat/Bonelab

[grand crag]

we will be able to make rec room inside of rec room

just with ink

[proper crystal]

No im pretty sure its its own application cause you have to link you recroom account and there is use of their textures i think

[hot ravine]

Yeah I think it will be a different version of unity

Since they partnered with them also

[night snow]

No it will be the version of unity that they are currently on

Just like every other unity sdk ever

[proper crystal]

I know its just a different version

[copper rain]

No it will use the same version as unity but the app itself will either be a git clone (please do this method), or it will be a unity package that you import.
I would think. Since its the standard for unity based creation tools

[hot ravine]

Ja, I thought so

[night snow]

Nah man the GitHub package downloader is fucking busted

I hope it’s a unity package

[patent timber]

Epic

[dire bridge]

Hopefully it comes out tomorrow

Anyone know if it's a yes or no on tomorrow?

I had to submit 2 forms because I did an oopsies on my first time

[analog yarrow]

me too

[forest grotto]

Just because the form closes tomorrow doesn’t mean its coming out the same day

[dire bridge]

Hopefully that doesn't disqualify us

[elder sorrel]

It’s not coming out tomorrow

cuz we would’ve gotten a release date

[unborn turret]

yeah

[dry fjord]

Rec Room studios is gonna be so cool i could do so many amazing things for the community, just imagine a city for rec room players to socialize and find others that have similar interests

[unborn turret]

imagine having a custom rec center

that would be amazing too

[velvet yew]

I don't think it'll come out tomorrow, they'd have less than a day to review people who applied today

[trail sapphire]

I expect the beta people to be pick mid november or late november

[still seal]

Can't wait for this to release

[unborn turret]

fr

[timber pilot]

Its almost like thats not already possible

[dry fjord]

With plains, tv, news channels, and costume ecosystem of costume textured entity's for environmental planing and custom weapons all with animated clean textures

All matching rec rooms texture typing

[valid rapids]

same, finally i can use unity, a tool i'm so familiar with, to make rooms! (watch me not get into the beta)

[analog yarrow]

I Can't Wait Im just Refreshing Gmail every 30min

[cedar badge]

Me too

[olive berry]

Good point would it allow Skeltons for the animation side

[grand crag]

RRS beta today?

[unborn turret]

no

[rigid minnow]

if only😔

[cedar badge]

Then, When RRS beta?

[rich cairn]

Yeah. They will give it only to few players that never seen 3D modeling software/tool expect MP.

[analog yarrow]

Who have access to rec room studio?

Sad

yet

xD

[rich cairn]

developers.

[tender ore]

Is rrs out?

[small holly]

no

[tender ore]

And when will RRS be released?

[small holly]

we don't know

[tender ore]

I thought today

[rugged umbra]

that’s when the survey closed, not the release date

[tender ore]

Oh

Okay, thanks for answering guys

[fading ocean]

FYI, the submissions are still open

[tender ore]

Yea

[vague arch]

Yo @copper rain when RRS comes out can you import a portal gun model for me???

[copper rain]

I can try

[hot ravine]

I have a very good recreation

I think I had also shown presto

[rich cairn]

If its original one from Portal 1/2 it was created in Source engine and RR is in Unity. I dont think its possible by that way.

[copper rain]

It is its just a bit of effort if you want to get it working well

since it isnt a pbr texture

[small grotto]

Yo @copper rain when RRS comes out can you import the entirety of skate 3 for me ??

[unborn turret]

LOL

[copper rain]

I would but one I dont know how tf to rip xbox 360 titles, 2 I would not know how to optimize the map for quest.
I've played the rip on boneworks and my pc was running 30 frames

[small grotto]

kry

I'm thinking of ripping Minecraft maps and putting them in rrs

like that one gorilla tag vid

[copper rain]

I've seen people do that in boneworks and honestly its interesting

[ivory cosmos]

⬅️

[rich cairn]

But we all know everyone from younger audience will go right.

[ivory cosmos]

Ig

[vapid elm]

will studio have fortnite woman

[unborn turret]

probably

[vague arch]

SketchFab moment

[unborn turret]

bro it's what i wanted to do

import portal assets

for my game

[tropic wyvern]

They will probably get stuck at the Unity Installer

[rich cairn]

True.

But it isnt that hard.

[copper rain]

They will get stuck at clicking too many buttons and corrupting a unity project

[tropic wyvern]

They will get stuck at setting up basic lighting

[rich cairn]

So my level basically.

[tropic wyvern]

You are already running out ahead of me.

[rich cairn]

I just have Unity and never used it.

[tropic wyvern]

What's Unity?

[unborn turret]

i'd kill to get rec room studio early

[rich cairn]

I would do it only for money. Killing not RRS.

[unborn turret]

rrs = money

[rich cairn]

Cant wait when 80% of people that signed up wouldn't be able to use it.

They don't have PC.

[unborn turret]

wait

ain't no way people without a pc signed for this

💀

i demand to see life's manager

[tacit geode]

I can confirm that I own a pc

Give me srudio

[small grotto]

Me too

give me stufio

[unborn turret]

smae

[tacit geode]

Smurio

[small grotto]

smurfio

[unborn turret]

me to

[tacit geode]

Smurdi

[unborn turret]

what's your ingame name

i wanna add you

[tacit geode]

SpookyPotato.Fi

[unborn turret]

thanks

[valid rapids]

i also confirm i have a pc
gib 50th unity install

[unborn turret]

yse

[echo delta]

so no one knows when its releasing early right?

[unborn turret]

no

look real pc

give me sudito nwo

[rich cairn]

Yes they most likely did. I know about some saying my 10yo laptop would run it. Imagine working in 5FPS. I would rather get a Q1 to build with.

[unborn turret]

fr

[copper rain]

Im probably the 1% who is actually going to push the limits of rrs and see how well of rooms I can make before I light a quest 2 on fire.

[tacit geode]

1%?

Everyone's gonna be doing that

Probably the 1st thing most people will make

[unborn turret]

fr

[tacit geode]

Everyone wants to destroy quest players

[copper rain]

Yeah but like I mean push the limits as in optimization and actual quality, not polygon count.

Only because I can see a lot of people using sketchfab and not knowing how to make pbr textures.

[unborn turret]

i'll use sketchfab to test rrs then i'll learn more about making good models

i know blender basics

but nothing crazy

[copper rain]

yeah. I mean nothing against sketchfab like you can find really good models for a good price and detail, but some people might be cash grabby about it.

[unborn turret]

i'll never sell stuff i don't make anyway

i never sell anything in general

[analog yarrow]

SOMEONE get withlisted?

[copper rain]

yeah at least you get it. Don't make money off of things you dont own or dont credit for. But some people "kids" think otherwise.

[unborn turret]

no

[copper rain]

I doubt they will send out 100 people in 1 day.

[unborn turret]

same for people who import music and sell it

i hate those

it takes no effort

[copper rain]

yeah. If I record music I'm putting it as edit-save.

[analog yarrow]

😦

[unborn turret]

i import good audio and publish it for free

ez

[copper rain]

Exactly its the right thing to do.

[plucky heart]

I scared to see RRStudio but so excited

[analog yarrow]

but

[unborn turret]

scared of what

[analog yarrow]

Harder to make maps

on start

[unborn turret]

no ?

[plucky heart]

The bar that will be set for good games, and the fact that a lot of things can be imported

[unborn turret]

not everyone has a pc

[plucky heart]

didn’t say everyone did

[copper rain]

yes and no. Texturing is going to be way harder, but geometry wise, hell of a lot easier. Unity terrain is 5x better than spheres and tubes.

[unborn turret]

yeah

we're gonna be able to make maps for custom rec royale !

[copper rain]

I can finally create a map the size of forza horizon 5 and get floating point errors!!!!

[unborn turret]

big spaces are going to be wayyyyyy easier to make

[tropic wyvern]

As a professional self-instructed personal computer operator and computer maintenance and repair operator, I demand Rec Room Studio!!

[unborn turret]

same

real

[copper rain]

As a owner of a non officially and non legal licensed private buisness running on moderate hardware playtesting and bug fixing games while also developing games I would strongly ask to be a candidate for the Rec Room Studio closed beta testing union.

[unborn turret]

i do funny tests and i find bugs really often

[cedar badge]

Heyo, anyone have RRS yet? I thought it's today when they release beta for signed up players

[tropic wyvern]

Speaking as the official owner and primary operator of an unofficial computer operations and internal intentional computer assisted digital storage medium bit shifting, modifying, and relaying specialist organization, I strongly believe I am a prime canidate for the Rec Room Studio Closed Beta Program.

anyone see this?

[hot ravine]

Yo that’s my headset

[copper rain]

Okay you beat me those are too much buzz words for my 20 hours awake brain to understand.

[copper rain]

Is this apart of the 12k standalone headset they were "planning to release" earlier or is it completely different?

[tropic wyvern]

The new one is really cheap... only $1900

and thats before taxes, basestations, controllers...

[tropic wyvern]

Apparently they have some more news about it today

[copper rain]

heh 10% sales tax here go brr

[tropic wyvern]

me with 6.8%

L

Seethe™️

[cedar badge]

💀💀💀

[copper rain]

oof its 2090 usd here

[tropic wyvern]

its like 2030 here

that can't be right

[copper rain]

I mean you are in Egyptian pounds so maybe the conversion from usd to there makes it cheaper.

its like how everything is more expensive in austraillia.

[cedar badge]

Not true, Quest 2 is 11000 EGP

[tropic wyvern]

q2 isn't $300 USD

anymore atleast

[copper rain]

Companies can charge different prices for different countries they are selling at.

[cedar badge]

New price?

[copper rain]

i think its like 400-500 usd now

[tropic wyvern]

400 USD for 128GB model, 500 USD for 256GB model, 60 USD for basic elite strap

[copper rain]

there you go.

[cedar badge]

I see but i glad it's still 11000 egp in my country (128GB)

[copper rain]

Also I still use defualt strap and somehow broke it during rec con afterparty

[unborn turret]

real

[tropic wyvern]

I am on my third elite strap

[copper rain]

rip.

[tropic wyvern]

I have had so many hardware failures with my quest 2's
Index? No issues lmao

[copper rain]

oh you have index?

[tropic wyvern]

yes

i love it very much

[cedar badge]

Ah yes index has screen like backrooms camera POV

[copper rain]

I would get an index but its 4 years old so im just vibing with a g2 until either a better headset comes out or my computer actually has thunderbolt.
Meaning im on quest 2 atm sadge

[tropic wyvern]

the index, because you don't have to deal with compression, looks a lot better than the quest 2 for PCVR

[copper rain]

oh yeah sure as hell does.

I felt like I was playing on a sharper screen running a lower res than quest 2 because of how much better uncompressed is.

[tropic wyvern]

the only issue with buying an index right now, is that while the basestations and controllers will probably last you a few more years, the headset is gonna be replaced soon

[copper rain]

yeah. I think my only investment for valves shot at vr would be basestations and knuckles. But again im looking into lucid vr so the finger tracking will be obslete soon for me anyways.

[tropic wyvern]

Big FOV, 144hz, no tracking latency, minimal tracking prediction, no tracking jitter, perfect comfort, good IPD adjustment.... 🤤

[unborn turret]

i am mentally ok

[tropic wyvern]

the lenses and screens on the index do show their age

[copper rain]

Cant forget about the asmr mic to.

[tropic wyvern]

S+ speakers too

[cedar badge]

What about hp reverb g2?

[copper rain]

oh yeah. Valve used the same speakers and mic for g2 and it is amazing

[tropic wyvern]

HP Reverb G2 has a lot of the same traits as the Index, only downside is controllers are worse than the competition

[copper rain]

except the g2 has stereo microphone recording and my left speaker like disconnecting.

[copper rain]

Yeah I hate the controllers.

[tropic wyvern]

my right passthrough camera has a line through it 😔 no headset can be 100% perfect 😮‍💨

[copper rain]

yeah at this point im expecting something to be always broken when I try vr hardware.

especially software and drivers.
mhmm win 11 and link

[cedar badge]

I have tried g2 and index in a Internet cafe and they are same but the controllers and glasses with heat can fade easily

[tropic wyvern]

I heard the G2's software is 💩

[copper rain]

Internet cafe I need to google this.

[copper rain]

wmr is worse than oculus.

its just more backend stable

[tropic wyvern]

I have only had one issue with SteamVR. Sometimes if I try to go into passthrough while in SteamVR Home, steamVR will crash. Idk why it happens, but its rare and steamVR restarts quick lol

Every other issue was because of an external driver

I can just start SteamVR, and my headset is 100% ready to go

[copper rain]

yeah. I loved the times when dealing with alvr and quest 2. God the amounts of restarts and crashes was horrid.

[tropic wyvern]

I have no issues with Virtual Desktop. It just works.
Tried ALVR once. Took 30 minutes to get an undistorted image to my quest lol

[copper rain]

also my 3d printer is about to finish its print so im going to test it then go to bed

[tropic wyvern]

what printer you got

im looking into getting one

[copper rain]

Monoprice ultimaker I think?

[tropic wyvern]

I want to get the Anycubic Kobra Go or whatever its called
looks cool

[copper rain]

its not very common

I know a very very popular one is the ender 3

[tropic wyvern]

I hear creality printers have lots of issues that make them not worth the cost

[copper rain]

yeah

[tropic wyvern]

Because of all the repairs and upgrades you have to do

I hear the anycubic kobra thing is good for just printing off occasional bracket designs n stuff, which is what I wanna do

[copper rain]

but yeah when I tried virtual desktop after 10-20 min my virtual desktop would loose connection to my pc. And it will constantly do that. so I got annoyed by that.

[tropic wyvern]

Did you have your PC on ethernet

[copper rain]

Yeah.

[tropic wyvern]

L

[copper rain]

I mean air link is flawless.

[tropic wyvern]

Air Link is a terrible, latency riddled, distorted, unstable, laggy mess every other time I use it
And then sometimes its just okay

[copper rain]

it became an issue during the update when you didnt have to patch steamvr through sidequest

[copper rain]

Yeah I've been recently getting packet loss issues, but I think thats just are local wifi because I share the main router because there are either 2 devices connected or every other device is ethernet.

[tropic wyvern]

As long as there are literally no other wifi devices connected, it should be fine
I have a TP-Link Archer A6, it was $50, and I get 40ms at worst with it

[cedar badge]

Ok, just flexing with very low latency, at night it's weaker bit

[copper rain]

ah. Yeah I get 40 usually or 20 usually. Except I keep asking my dad if I can have the login information to the portal so I can try to enable 6e

[copper rain]

I get 900 up 41 down

[tropic wyvern]

6e will do nothing on a quest 2, it doesn't support it

[cedar badge]

Ping?

[copper rain]

I think 6-8

[tropic wyvern]

I used to have speeds worse than that until I got starlink

I love starlink, its been flawless

99.7% uptime, and it only goes down at like 3am for some reason

[copper rain]

yeah currently I use comcast. Its kind of the only choice around here

[cedar badge]

I just used router that provided by my isp.

[copper rain]

same here

[tropic wyvern]

I had either 3mb from centurylink (it was awful) , "Gigabit" from comcast (good luck doing that through a 30 year old coaxial cable), and Starlink

[copper rain]

also for 3d printing I so far have only used my 3d printer for vr or other stuff. Rn im printing a thing I can use for cable management on my desk

[tropic wyvern]

3d print a 3d printer so you can 3d print a 3d printer on a 3d printer that was 3d printed by a 3d printer that was 3d printed by another 3d printer

efficiency

[copper rain]

I've seem too many people 3d print parts for their 3d printer to make their 3d printer better at 3d printing prints. Im not joking when I say that.

[tropic wyvern]

I'm probably going to replace the included Starlink router... it has bad wireless signals

PIMAX CRYSTAL EVENT STARTING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ND3FJxigTE

can't wait to see something I can't afford and don't need

[cedar badge]

I prefer to buy whole PC extreme strong specs instead of buy this

[tropic wyvern]

you can get a PC and an index, with controllers and basestations

if you go for used parts, a 3070 isn't unreasonable to achieve

atleast in the US

[copper rain]

omg its the akward scripted guy!!

[tropic wyvern]

yay!!

love that guy!!

Blender Game Engine (no longer a feature in Blender)

[night snow]

more than half of you guys have never even breathed on unity or blender

not saying that's a bad thing, we all start somewhere, I'm just saying that you can already download unity to try it's features

[analog yarrow]

UNITY web

[rugged umbra]

I tried unity, I couldn’t do it my brain can’t understand any code but at least I know how to semi-build in unity and get assets and models

[grand crag]

Yea I've been using unity for around a year to a year and a half, but I suck at blender ;-;

[dry fjord]

They Have a valid point, plus unity is already really fun to use imagine being able to use it for rec room its gonna be so fun plus with blender it's becomes super easy 😋

[sleek tundra]

is there a limit on how far you can build?

i mean with it can we build maps as as big as the fortnite map

[copper rain]

So far only have heard recommendations for poly count but dont quote me on that

[sleek tundra]

ahh oke

[grand crag]

yea you might wanna look at this: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-perf/

it should show you ways to optimize a scene and some recommended poly counts for quest 1 and quest 2

[night snow]

Your limit isn’t the polygon count, it’s the drawcall count

[copper rain]

both count afaik.

[unborn turret]

soooo, still no possible release date

[copper rain]

not from what I've heard yet

[unborn turret]

damn

i wish we had at least some idea of when it releases

[copper rain]

we do know that it "should" start to roll out to people by the end of the year iirc.

[grand crag]

Unfortunately not :(

[fading ocean]

Applications are still open

[unborn turret]

yes

[ivory cosmos]

Source?🙂

[copper rain]

It would take me a bit to scroll back but I think star said it.
Edit: Nevermind it didnt come from star

Yeah I have heard the word used before I just cant remember the source.
I remember hearing about the fact that studio is already pretty far in development since it can already be used so it should be starting to get released by the end of the year unless otherwise.

[unborn turret]

yay

it could be a nice christmas present

lol

[trail sapphire]

If they did beta apps this early then they should have a plan to give the beta people RRS not long after. I'm still thinking mid November or late November

[unborn turret]

i'd say early december tbh

[tacit geode]

Would be a good time to give it out because of holidays and all the breaks I'll be getting

[rich cairn]

I would say end of Solstice contest play phase.

[tacit geode]

You know studio is probably the reason we haven't been getting a whole lot of game content lately

Since most of RR staff has been busy working on studio

[rich cairn]

And some other stuff like removing Hangar/CJC out of bounds and nade fixes.

[tacit geode]

I wonder if we'll be getting an update this week

[rich cairn]

I hope so. I really want all that stuff that will be there.

[willow prawn]

How will the stuff translate into ink?

[tacit geode]

No one's giving out answers yet, all we know is what's in the video

Ink will likely be sorted out just before or after the closed beta

[willow prawn]

[night snow]

No Star already told us

The more you put, the larger the file size for the map is

Like in vrchat

Optimization is up to you.

[tacit geode]

Very cool

[trail sapphire]

oh sick!

@night snow do you have a screenshot of that?

[night snow]

Do you need me to scroll up to messages from last week

[willow prawn]

Yes

[trail sapphire]

This is what I found

[still pollen]

Will rrs support culling?

[trail sapphire]

I'm pretty sure as long as it doesn't involve you coding then it should be in there

[still seal]

Well, if it's good then I'm fine with it

[still seal]

Yes

[cunning ibex]

i hope this is true

[trail sapphire]

so far that's what they've been saying, I've heard nothing saying some things wont work unless it involves coding

[broken kite]

wait so higher ink limit for rrs rooms?

:O

[still seal]

not really, just that imported models make detailing a lot cheaper

plus object culling

[trail sapphire]

As far as we know, there is no ink limit for rrs rooms. Creators have to put it into there own hands to make sure it runs smoothly for every platform

[broken kite]

YES

WOOOO

I need to get rrs

has it released?

[trail sapphire]

I'm pretty sure they said a while back in a creative AMA that during the beta thats when they are going to figure out how ink and all that works.

[still seal]

nope, not til some time in december

[trail sapphire]

Sadly not yet, the beta application closed yesturday

[broken kite]

well i applied

so

hopefully i get it :D

[trail sapphire]

No release date has been set so it could be tomorrow

[broken kite]

no I think hes right

I heard somewhere mid december

[trail sapphire]

Heard from where

[broken kite]

idk but I think it was RR themselves

[trail sapphire]

I'm still sticking with mid/late november

[broken kite]

@still seal was it worth not having terrain tools for all those years

I think it is

[still seal]

idk, it might be

[broken kite]

i mean itll come with rrs

so we not only get terrain we also get pretty much everything else too

[broken kite]

its probably gonna be after the roomies

[trail sapphire]

Roomies is in january

It's gonna take longer than 2 days

[broken kite]

email?

[unborn turret]

welp, the can't join showdown glitch is happening again...

[copper rain]

🗒️

[unborn turret]

what

[copper rain]

noted.
If it happens to me or any other friend I'll bug report it.

[unborn turret]

oh

also, is there any log file on pc

if yes, where

[copper rain]

C:/users/{urpcusername}/Appdata/LocalLow/Against Gravity/Rec Room

And the file is Player.log

and if you really want to see whats happening during the crash you can go into powershell, cd into the directory then put in the command Get-Content Player.log
That will console log all the data being spit out real time.

[unborn turret]

so i maybe am getting timed out

[night snow]

boo rec room players, did I scare you?

[copper rain]

Are you using reflection probes for that?

[echo delta]

What that, i know its unity tho but what that

[night snow]

prom

[echo delta]

Ah ok

[grand crag]

or render textures?

[copper rain]

No because each reflection would be the same since its rendering from the same camera.

[grand crag]

Ohh yea

Yea that's definitely a reflection probe

[night snow]

render textures are only for cameras

if you used one for a mirror it would look like dogshit

[velvet yew]

I'm literally shaking right now please add 10000000 trigger warnings

[night snow]

me after adding 200 reflective surfaces and the game doesn't lag

[dire bridge]

How do you know?

[light forum]

Wait do you have rr studio??

[night snow]

🤣

[light forum]

… its out??

Confusion

[night snow]

no I was just showing off

the joke is that in rec room you can only spawn 1 mirror and it's laggy af

in unity I can spawn as many as I fucking want

[rigid minnow]

when it comes down to exceptions and limits of games you'll find that specifically for vr which can be demanding for a pc you wont be able to see them through each other and in some cases even have one that works thats too close to one (Look at Unity XR vr toolkit)

[night snow]

why would you need to see a mirror in a mirror lmao

[rigid minnow]

periscopes

they're pretty epic

[night snow]

I would say use a shader, but you know how rec room studio is.

[rigid minnow]

what would a shader do that a periscope would? you'd need live updates through both mirrors

[night snow]

shaders can deliver live updates

[rigid minnow]

oh you're talking about shader shaders not texture shaders

[night snow]

also you wouldn't need a shader or a mirror, just use a render texture for a periscope

it's effectively a camera, you should always take shortcuts

[rigid minnow]

my shortcuts will turn into making a square out of wedges to annoy people

[night snow]

literally like 200 tris.

[rigid minnow]

I shall make the 4 vert square into a 15k vert square

still find it funny how if you make a tank it will be like 20k verts per track

[copper rain]

rtx raytracing on a budget

[night snow]

no no sweetie, it's called a baked reflection probe.

it's like if you ray traced for a single frame and then used that one frame for the whole area that is contained inside of it.

[copper rain]

I know it has a baked option. I just know people might call it rtx so I might as well make the joke first 🤷‍♂️

[cunning ibex]

Ur making a fnaf game?

[night snow]

Already made the location

Like a couple months ago

[proper bridge]

Wait can we import any model and animation?

Because if so that makes my undertale room a lot easier

[copper rain]

Yeah your able to import any model and any .anim/.animatorcontroller file

[zinc gorge]

man i cant wait to remake the entirety of Half-Life 1

since its a open source game too

[frail lintel]

That’s

[still ether]

i wanted to try rec room studio just to fiddle around with it, it seems i cant do that :(

[ocean crescent]

wait

[still ether]

i am waiting

[haughty saffron]

I'll put myself in the line and wait as well 😄

[night snow]

Unity

[still ether]

you dont get it, i need to fill out a form

[night snow]

You can use unity for free

[still ether]

ye, i know

[night snow]

Then why don’t you

You can already start working on a map

[still ether]

yea, ill try starting

why not

[haughty saffron]

I actually dont want to use unity for map building. I just want to have custom assets available, and build in VR.
I hope that Rec Room Studio will provide that in one way or another.
Though I will give rec room itself a try, to figure out how the maker pen works and stuff.
Dont need to test unity though, as I'm a fulltime unity dev already 😄

[night snow]

Then why would you build in rec room

The maker pen is Garbo

Ever since the ui update anyway

[unborn turret]

i can't wait to see myself crashing every second

[night snow]

It’s almost like unity games can be more optimized than the standard maker room.

[unborn turret]

true

[night snow]

You know, the same maker room that has millions of overlapping polygons

[still seal]

Unity models take less objects to make more detailed shapes

[night snow]

It’s mainly about the textures but yeah

[still seal]

That too

[haughty saffron]

What place would you suggest?
I'm looking for a software, where I can build worlds in VR, import custom assets (including transparency), supporting standalone quest headsets, and have at least some editing tools.
The closest it got so far, would be altspaceVR. but there in world editing tool stops at transform/scale/rotation....

[night snow]

Ok sorry, I misunderstood your use case

[haughty saffron]

thats fine, its a strange use case anyway 😄

I'm looking to build worlds in vr for the building experience. Not the end result.
Like how you would build a airplane model out of plastic parts in RL.

I guess i dont like to do that in unity itself, as thats already my day to day job.

[night snow]

Ah ok

[cunning ibex]

cv2?

[night snow]

Digging through the menu just to get to cv2 is already a chore

[keen stone]

No for building

We will still use cv2

[cunning ibex]

and lights

i think

[night snow]

Lights can be baked in unity

Alongside light probes

[cunning ibex]

oh

[night snow]

That would deliver much better performance

[cunning ibex]

yes

[undone basalt]

big brain

[undone basalt]

See the video and you might like what you see https://recroom.com/studio

[still seal]

@undone basalt while you're here, will the unity objects have their own sub-type for cv2 with RR Objects, or their own type in general?

[still pollen]

What version of Unity will RRS use?

[timber pilot]

2

[night trench]

Quandel dingle Unity

It’s the best

[haughty saffron]

I did see it, and i did like it. I also filled the form. But its not available yet.

I also doubt that they will invite me to the beta, as i'm not a tutorial maker

[unborn turret]

same

i just hope it gets released this year for everyone

[night trench]

I doubt the care about it that much, they want some tutorial makers but of course they also need the map makers.

[haughty saffron]

with 50% of the form being about tutorial makers, it did sound like they want them 😄

[still seal]

Yeah, I'd say they're prolly just looking for ppl who make maps, want to collab with others, and are active creators

[haughty saffron]

the only thing I can offer, is being a fulltime unity dev. not sure if thats worth something 😄

[night trench]

Yeah the thing is, I don’t think you have any maps and stuff on Rec room and you seem like a kinda new player so I’m not sure they would chose you for the beta

[haughty saffron]

Indeed. I'm just now getting more active, as I got my quest pro, and I'm looking for a place to build worlds.

Will try some rec room over the next weeks. Getting familiar with the game and how everything works.

[night trench]

Rec room is pretty bad right now with the state of all the bugs and stuff but hopefully with Studio it will be much better

[ocean crescent]

So maker pen will still be used elsewhere even with capabilities studio will have?

Because for what studio can do, it makes the pen look obsolete

[haughty saffron]

Without knowing too much about everything:
My guess would be, that maker pen will be still used, by some. As it does require less knowledge, and is less intimidating then Unity.
At least at first glance

[night trench]

I mean studio is only pc

[haughty saffron]

that as well

[ocean crescent]

Oh yeah right, how resource hungry would studio be?

[haughty saffron]

I would assume just like normal unity.
So if your pc can run games, it should be fine.

[rich cairn]

As classic unity.

[night trench]

And I THINK, we are going to have a system where the player has to sort of download the map? So we will have much higher ink levels

[ocean crescent]

Mocap animations? 🤔

[rich cairn]

Unlimited. Optimalisation will be on players but low speed internet players wont get it since you will need download high amount of things.

[haughty saffron]

I wonder, if assets build into a map can be saved, and brought to other maps.
As thats what I'm mostly after: Importing assets.

[ocean crescent]

Would game coding be a thing or would it still be circuits v2

[rich cairn]

Still a CV2.

[still seal]

For now

[ocean crescent]

Dang

[haughty saffron]

the trailer has shown that you can modify them in RecRoom, so at least they are handled as objects.

[ocean crescent]

Dragging blocks

[still seal]

You can modify things in Unity and RR

[ocean crescent]

Real time collab?

Like if someone moves something in studio, in game they will see a indicator that they are holding the object

[still seal]

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it

Actually, likely not

[night trench]

Also exited for all the new cv2 it’s gonna bring

Rec room games are going to feel much more like games

[ocean crescent]

Is cv2 game making any difficult?

[ocean crescent]

Oh yeah for sure, although custom models are gonna throw me off

[still seal]

Using Studio is basically downloading the map, making edits, and then to save you upload the map to RR

[night trench]

It’s not difficult it’s just annoying when rec room doesn’t work and breaks everything

[rich cairn]

Not at all. You just need to get basics and get some simple games and after that you can move to advanced things.

[still seal]

Mate, I swear I still have nightmares from a month ago working on AI

[ocean crescent]

It’s all logic right?

If then else, all that?

[night trench]

Rec rooms logic

So not logic

[still seal]

It's logic but AI is extremely Illogical

[ocean crescent]

Huh

[still seal]

Nearly all AI and combatant chips don't do their intended outcomes

[rich cairn]

Its just broken.

[ocean crescent]

Oh those

[still seal]

Yeah, I was doing a play on words

[ocean crescent]

I was confused what you meant by ai until you mentioned combat

[rich cairn]

Ai is Spawner component. Spawn bots/mobs.

[haughty saffron]

Alright, guess I'll head into rec room for half n hour or so, and test out some things. anyone some recommendations for world building?

[ocean crescent]

Brick alleyway

[rich cairn]

Recreate sunshine and sofas from RRS trailer.

[haughty saffron]

i like that idea

[haughty saffron]

well.. I did make an ugly little palm tree 😄
Though CV2 Looks powerfull on first glance. Maybe I can make like a little farm game on an island (once I actually made something like an island)

Getting assets in there will definitely be better, as I'm not much of an artist. I'm better in level building, and programming. but lets see

[ocean crescent]

Can we see

[haughty saffron]

let me quickly get RecRoom on pc, then its easier to take a screenshot

Ah wait. I guess I'm not allowed to post pictures

[haughty saffron]

Then I guess not for now.

If I get further into things, I might publish a room or something. But for now I'm just trying to get used to things, and might still adjust stuff

[ocean crescent]

It should

Idk how they would work that out

[undone bay]

@haughty saffron heya, Rec Room did a creative Q&A where alot of studio questions were answered, I would recommend having a look it here: https://youtu.be/fL9gbvweaCw (they start talking about it at 18:11)

Also there is a Q&A this weekend on studio as well! If you wanna join, look at the events in the rec room creative club,

Not alot is really known about studio, they haven’t shared alot of information

They want studio to be a companion to the maker pen and vice versa

You can’t do cv2 (the programming language of rec room) in studio, you have to use the maker pen (at least that’s what they said)

I wish we knew more about it

[undone basalt]

@haughty saffron Studio and the maker pen work hand-in-hand. You’ll still be using the Maker Pen even if you’re also using Studio to make a room!
World building in general is easier in-game always, as you can make real-time adjustments

[unborn turret]

will we have an official release date for the official release and/or beta of rrs?

[undone basalt]

Idk. We don’t like to give specific dates because we may not be able to deliver at the time

[mint holly]

So basically tomorrow?

[undone basalt]

i would play into the joke but I know people would 100% believe it if I did

[mint holly]

😔

[old ravine]

Now that's true, || people are just dumb like that||

[graceful fulcrum]

should we just go make a proper rec room studio channel already

[tropic wyvern]

surprised there isn't one yet

but most people who care end up in this thread anyways

so idk how much it would matter

[graceful fulcrum]

@severe gale @undone basalt any concerns against moving to a channel

[torpid raptor]

yippee

[tropic wyvern]

thats way too logical!!

[undone basalt]

None from me!

oh wait i still have my spooky name

[tropic wyvern]

maybe I should change mine too

[graceful fulcrum]

I'm just going to do it then, otherwise too much conversation will remain hidden here if we keep this thread up

please join us in #rec-room-studio

I'm going to leave this thread up for now but it has a super long 6 hour cooldown

[plush dawn]

Is CV2 gonna be translate in different langage like french ?

[delicate compass]

m

[unborn turret]

je pense pas

[tacit geode]

That's actually a good question
Cv2 is probably one of few coding languages that can be translated to other speaking languages for the ports and stuff relatively easy

So cv2 can be translated to French just by changing all the port text without needing likely months of work to change how people use it

[grand crag]

But cv2 isn’t a speaking language it’s a coding one

[warped nest]

I dont think you get what they're saying

[analog yarrow]

Someone Got RRS?

[elder grove]

Idk

[lofty coral]

Everyone with an orange, red, or purple name has rrs I think

[elder sorrel]

Devs obviously have it
certain staff have it too

[dense heron]

bruah

[stark nimbus]

Ah heck nah they're thinking of restricting studio to rr+ when its out of beta

[torpid raptor]

to kiifastovets' message,
permission ≠ RR+
the share screen system exists
besides, the makerpen's potential makes it able to be as bad as studio if used by the wrong person
does it take effort? yes
but abuse of studio'll have steps in its own way so

[grand crag]

Bruh*

[unborn turret]

bruh

[lament gust]

if this is released to everyone instead of needing permission first would mean we are doomed
