VR Test #1

VR Test #1

• Issues
  • Bad quality
  • Distortion
    • Objects shouldn’t be too close to camera

VR Test #2

VR Test #2

• Issues
  • GPU can’t handle more than 6k
    • Tried 12k and 9k
  • Quality is much better
    • More render time in C4D and AME
    • Says around 20 mins for YT to analyse 4k+ but actually took 5ish
    • Around 15 mins total w no mats, so not too bad

Sketches (5/2/24)
