Re: VR mode for your 3d home I agree with others here I would love support for VR. I am designing 3 buildings one for my family and 2 to be rented out to tourists - Americans would call these lodges, Europeans might call them chalets. A subtle area of interest is whether I have given my guests enough room, its not trivial, whether or not we feel cramped in temporary accommodation dependent on many factors and I would really love to have an accurate VR visit - real time. Sure it would be great to create higher quality videos but really I would be happy with quality already available in the virtual view ( aerial and visitor ) but simply two views separated by eye distance and so on. Not sure I am on top of the full process, for instance from what I read VR googles costing typically a couple of hundred Euro / US dollars still require a driver or intermediate box of tricks between laptop and goggles. Personally given the cost of even a self build and the cost of goggles I think its a non-brainer - the cost of mistakes that might be revealed in a fully immersive experience would normally cost a lot more to fix after build or even during build. Does anyone have a complete picture of the hardware side of things? Could you connect a 200 Euro pair of Goggles to a laptop? What kind of cable/connections would be involved? Would we need a box of tricks between laptop and goggles - a hardware driver? Any hope this solution might exist in the Linux world for those of us who have left the world of windows? I would love to know more. I have messed around in Blender which does claim to have support for producing at least VR videos but so far I find it an uphill struggle and I am not a Blender noobie, personally I find the aerial visit and virtual visit in SweetHome absolutely brilliant - they work like a charm, easy to set up with accuracy ( height of viewpoint and so on ), I will continue to try on all fronts but so far I would rate SweetHome as infinitely superior in terms of ease of use and whilst Blender may have more rendering options the aerial and virtual visit quality in SweetHome is probably more realistic for most peoples hardware. |
