Modeling in VR | VoxVR | Landscape Study

Exploring #voxvr. Second half shows what #sketchup + #enscape3d can do with the OBJ exports. #minecraft2? Kinda want to try making 3D doom sprites with this.

Dev Blog #2

Welcome back!

Since the last dev blog we added Collada (.dae) as an export format to expand out compatibility. You can now also load reference images, directly in VoxVR, which helps artists to use their inspiration while creating in VR. Reference images can be loaded while VoxVR is running: Just throw your images into the VoxVR 'images'-folder. The next big task is the creation of a better UI, that gives the user more freedom, as well as easily presenting all the tools, that we want to implement. The plan for that is already finished. We are also working on minor features like different environments to make you more comfortable, when creating your artwork.

We gave out the first alpha builds to our testers! If you want to test VoxVR and provide us with valuable feedback, please don't hesitate to ask us (via social media, mail or contact form).

To test the usability, we also create artwork on our own. We recently participated in the Weekly Voxels challenge with the theme "food". Here is the result:

Aaron Clifford already played VoxVR live on Twitch. You can watch the recording here. We updated our "Made with VoxVR" page with new content that was made from some of our testers.

Here is the dev log as a video:

As always we want to know how you think about the latest developments, so feel free to comment.

Vote for us on Greenlight!

Hey! We just launched our Greenlight campaign. If you want to see VoxVR on Steam, please vote for us!

Why Steam?

Steam is a great way to distribute your game or application, because you have all your games in one place. Also it has very useful built-in features we wanna use, like the Steam Workshop which allows you to share your creations with other users on steam as well as downloading creations. To request a feature or leave a comment, you just need a few clicks.

Starting VoxVR

Two weeks ago we started a new project. Since we, Broken Vector, love to create games in the typical indie game style, involving simplistic ideas like the lowpoly or the voxel theme, we are always on the lookout for new tools to speed up our workflow. We also just received the HTC Vive (a virtual reality headset), which is really fun to use and creates some great gaming experiences, but sadly it did not seem as useful as a mouse or keyboard as a tool at first glance. But that is only the case if you think about programs that use a lot of text or other two-dimensional data. But I am a 3D artist. And there is one key element, that is bugging me a lot. If I want to position something in 3D space I always need to do at least 2 actions. But the HTC Vive offers us a way to reduce that down to a single movement. I know that does not seem like a big deal. But if you try it out you realize how much more fun and faster it is to interact with your models directly. That is why we started to work on VoxVR, which offers you a really vivid way to simply create voxel based models.

But that is just our vision of the project. What we are interested in is your opinion. Have a look at the features page to see what we are currently planning to implement to Vox VR in the near future and help us on our way to the finished tool by suggesting new features, critizising the existing ones, or just simply telling us about your opinion using social networks (link in the footer) or the contact form.
