Behind The Scenes
Blender 3D has always been main source of 3D assets for this project. This demo and component update is focusing on further Blender integration with Dope VR system.
In the image below you can see helper objects in Blender scene that define position, rotation and scale information. Those points are exported in separate file and imported into the scene.
Then in the scene these points are linked through code to the artwork that will load as separate image file, then get framed with asset and adjusted to proper image size. After all these steps, framed image is placed on the wall.
Goal of this demo is to prove that this system can be fully automated and build to clients specification. Even providing the ability to create and export custom points for the walls.
