created in VR or traditionally, with VR animation in Quill

W

ith the consumer

version of VR headsets

such as Oculus Rift and

HTC Vive having been out for a

few years, the creative software

for those platforms are starting to

grow out of their infancy. They’re

no longer just fun concepts,

they’re proving themselves to

be invaluable tools to a steadily

increasing amount of artists –

both more 2D-oriented artists like

myself, and 3D artists alike.

Virtual reality tools such

as MasterpieceVR, Oculus

Medium, Quill and AnimVR all

still have some way to go before

they can replace their desktop

counterparts completely. But

they’re getting there, and they’re

moving fast!

The assets you can create in

those VR tools are still a bit rough

around the edges unless you

really plan ahead, and therefore

lend themselves best as a starting

point for further refinement in

desktop programs. I’m convinced,

though, that it’s only a matter of

time before you could easily start

and finish your work in VR.

In this tutorial I’ll walk you

through the process of creating a

fighter aircraft in MasterpieceVR

(this could also be done in

Oculus Medium or a desktop 3D

package), and taking that asset

into Quill (or AnimVR if you have

access to the beta) for animation.

The first part of this tutorial will

cover some of the same areas that

I went over in my previous tutorial

‘Sculpt Sci-fi Concepts in VR’ in

Issue #231, so if you need a more

in-depth tutorial on that part of

the process I recommend you take

a look at that.
