VR Art & Animation

A curation of 3D sketches and animation created by me for an independent study entirely using VR tools. The study followed a hands-on, studio-based curriculum that was outlined by me under the guidance of an OCAD U Faculty with an aim to understand the viability of VR as a tool for creation.

Software: Google TiltBrush, Oculus Quill, MasterpieceVR
Hardware: HTC Vive, Oculus Quest

About Study

Virtual Reality (VR) has gained substantial popularity as a platform for video games and experiential learning over the past few years. Conventionally, assets are created in non-VR toolsets and imported into VR. Though the ubiquity of this technology continues to rise, its capacity as a creation tool, in my opinion, has not been explored to the fullest potential. I conducted a hands-on, studio-based study to tap into this very prospect: to discover the process of using VR as a tool to create 3D art, assets and animation as a self-contained pipeline.

Through an experimental investigation encompassing case-studies and hands-on application of VR tools like Google TiltBrush, Oculus Quill and MasterpieceVR this study explored the potential of this platform to create 3D art and animation.
