Very happy to read this! Enjoy the rest of the videos :)

[@melomaniakjm]

Any info welcome, to my knowledge and after tons of testing the only way for a good framerate is to use Forward rendering and not Deferred, allow static lighting to baked your lights and keep down the number of dynamic shadow casting lights. Anything else gives bad framerate and poor visual fidelity as Deferred rendering does not work well with VR.

[@DesignGoBrr]

You just described UE 4.26 default VR settings with emphasis on performance vs quality.

[@melomaniakjm]

@@DesignGoBrr It's the same in UE5.2 Cannot get good visuals with Deferred rendering and Lumen in my gaming prototypes, even with a 4090.

[@tompainter7167]

@@melomaniakjmhey yes that’s what I heard too, forward is the only way for stereo VR effects as deferred is doing lots of 2D cheating that doesn’t work in stereo . If this tutorial is using airlink (or cable link) to a beefy PC then it’s not really for making VR for the masses on quest

This tutorial is really good and the door part is exactly what I needed! Now I don't feel stressed anymore about my project. Thank you :>

[@mdimascio]

When you package it and ran it, were you using the airlink and your computer GPU was still doing all the work? What if you loaded it onto your Quest 2 and used its GPU? Not good? What about the Quest 3 GPU? Its supposed to be about double the Quest 2 performance, right?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Yup, the PC always does 100% of the heavy lifting. As far as running it mobile goes (on Quest 2 or Quest 3) - the performance is not even close to what's needed to run this. If I had to guess - I'd say we're ~10-15 years away from Headsets themselves being able to run Lumen+Nanite.

[@mdimascio]

@@DesignGoBrrDarn, really? I am surprised, and a little disappointed, that Archvis will be tied to PCVR for a decade or more to come yet. I don't yet understand baking entirely...is there any baking that can be done? Are Meta environments (and games) THAT much less complex such that they can run perfectly on the Quest 2 and 3?. I definitely can see that they use very low textures in their environment materials. So when you ship it to a client, they must use a high-end computer with either airlink or or a cable, correct?

[@mdimascio]

By the way, I really appreciate your perseverance in getting this video completed! Sounds like it was hard work!

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@mdimascio the models that run in Mobile VR have all light baked and uses low-polygon meshes. Baked light means it's non-dynamic, so you cannot control the sun position for example. Reflections use reflection capture probes, that produces inaccurate/fake reflections. Not having nanite means there cannot be any high detail rocks/trees in the scene as the ram/VRAM would get overwhelmed. For now - when you ship to a client they either have to have a high-end computer (in a few years any computer) and tether via airlink/cable. There are also PixelStreaming services such as Arcane Mirage : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3u3f6mJnqiNj5I , but I'm scared that the server delay would make things problematic. Something to test for sure.

[@mdimascio]

@@DesignGoBrrThanks! I see what you mean about being 10-15 years away yet then. I play Golf+ a lot on the Quest 3 (an previously on the Q2). Their golf courses look great and they are often putting new ones out and improving their textures. They must be very good at minimizing their polygon counts while still making the courses look pretty great.

Do you think Standalone VR on Oculus Q2-Q3 would be better for UE4 or UE5? Thinking about making a standalone game. Maybe a mix of both. If possible could you do a video on standalone and how to optimize it to where you can get good performance out of it?

[@DesignGoBrr]

UE5 has better VR performance for sure, so I'd go with that. As for making a standalone game/environment tutorial - I'm waiting for Meta Quest 3 to be released with hopes that it's performance will be much higher. All headsets that are currently available simply do not have the performance necessary to run a convincing VR experience. Long story short - 1 month until Meta Quest 3 release and then I'll look into it!

[@Natzawa]

@@DesignGoBrr Sounds good! Hopefully the Q3 will help with performance. We really need better standalone games. Of course I’d prefer PCVR games only but the player base is significantly smaller.

[@dwassortedmedia]

Thank you so much for creating this! I am transitioning from Unity to Unreal and this video really came in handy with a project I am working on. One question I do have though is why we disable static lighting? I was always under the impression that baked lighting is better where possible especially for VR due to the extra computations realtime lighting takes.

[@DesignGoBrr]

Glad to help! Umm it's true that baked lighting is faster, but for my archviz scenes I usually do day/night cycles for the client to see (also a bunch of dynic objects, such as window blinds, doors and so on), so I have to use dynamic lights. And then we turn off the static lights in orger for UE to rebuild the project optimized for dynamic lighting (you get a small performance boost that way)

[@maizenbrot]

First of all, great tutorial! Everything runs smoothly for me just like in your video, until I deactivate Forward Shading. The preview will still look good but the VR preview will drop from 60fps to one very glitchy frame per minute or just give a spinning hourglass and eventually UE5 editor will complain I have exhausted all video memory. Tried on two different machines and with new and old drivers and it's the same thing. UE5.3.2 with same headset as you, the quest 2. Also tried tweaking the VR project settings around but no luck. Changing the shader setting back to ON fixes the problem right away after a restart of UE, strange

[@DesignGoBrr]

Have you tried running the crashy settings on the default VR template map? If disabling Forward Shading doesn't crash there - then it's something up with the model, if it also crashes there - then it's something wrong with Unreal Engine itself (or the hardware)

[@maizenbrot]

@@DesignGoBrr makes sense, but is there some other template than is used in the video? I'm just following the tutorial and I have not come to the point where I import anything custom. I watched a bit further now and got to the point of taking the main quality slider down from Epic and the scene no longer crashes completely, just run kind of jittery. I think the problem is running out of VRAM when the scene is being rendered both in the normal editor and preview. It runs flawlessly at 60FPS vsynced in the editor, but the starter content alone eats about 4-5GB video memory before I even launch in VR, so when I do it just totally pukes. Have run it on two different laptops one with 3060 and the other with 3070Ti, both with 64GB RAM and i7-12800H CPU. Probably I just need a more powerful rig but kind of was hoping to be able to at least run the Oculus Quest with starter content scene since I have a pretty powerful laptop 😢 I guess I could get Visual Studio and try compile the whole project to a standalone executable and run it without also having Unreal Editor consuming VRAM, do the developing without using the preview or runnint the preview on low settings.

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@maizenbrot 3070Ti should be comparable to 3080 (non TI) that I'm using, so it shouldn't puke as much.. As for the settings - definitely don't use Epic. High is the highest that you can go. I'd also run a r.PixelDensity 0.8 command to force a bit lower rendered resolution -to see if the speed or the VRAM required is the bottle neck.

You can't. This quality requires the app to be run on a PC and the headset to work as a monitor basically. If you want a stand-alone app, you would need to drastically reduce the quality/accuracy of your visuals (which I don't think is a good idea for architectural visualization purposes)

And just wondering if you have any video content for Mobile VR... my Oculus WiFI airlink doesnt connect in my office so i'm frustratingly always tethered to my PC. Also often my projects need to be presented to clients off-site, so the mobile option is great to have but obviously that limits what can be loaded and run on the mobile HMD.

[@DesignGoBrr]

In my opinion Mobile VR is bad for Archviz preview - then it's better to just do a rendered 360 degree video. The reason why we need the processing power of the PC is us getting as close-to-real-life light/material behaviour as possible and with mobile VR it's simply impossible at this point.

Thank you, but your optimization for VR is based on PCVR, what about optimization for stand-alone version like APK runs on VR Headset in VR Archviz?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Doesn't make sense to do stand-alone VR for archviz purposes due to lack of accuracy in reflections and lighting. At that point, definitely better to just render out static 360 panoramic view renders of every room and feed them through the VR headset. High quality, but zero interective-ness. The purpose of archviz VR is to maximise precision and quality to showcase the expected change of the space when light/material conditions change.

@@Sohneg With this console command "vr.Pixel Density 0.5" (just an example value). There's also a node that executes console commands, so you don't always have to type it in yourself. But there's probably also a way to set in the project settings.

[@ejiasidaniel2183]

Thanks for the tutorial man...I wanted to ask how you rendered it in your POV?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Oh it's the default setting. If you see it in 3rd person view - press the Tab key on the keyboard (or is it the Spacebar... i forget) - and then it should switch to the HUD view.

Do you know if there's a way to fix the super harsh shadows on nanite objects? The shadows they cast is pure black atm

[@DesignGoBrr]

Hmm, that sounds weird... First thing that I would do is restart UE /PC . Second - I'd make sure that I'm running it on DirectX12 / SM6 (Project settings -> Platforms -> Windows) .

Awesome stuff man. By the way, what's the final size of the app?

[@DesignGoBrr]

2 gigabytes or so if you do not add in unnecessary stuff and around 7 if you package everything-everything

[@m.raflyyanuar9886]

@@DesignGoBrr What about multiplayer? Is there a way where multiple users can use the app at the same time and interact with each other or at least see each other?

[@ramiroyelinek9949]

bro you are amazing, one question. Is it feasible to use lumen or is baked light better for VR? and how to activate lumen if I want to use it, since in unreal engine 5.4 when I open the vr file it doesn't let me do it, the lumen options appear gray and I can't click on them, thanks bro!

[@DesignGoBrr]

In project settings switch to deferred shading from forward shading and restart. And yes - using lumen is now possible in VR, but only on powerful cards (4070, 4080, 4090)

[@ramiroyelinek9949]

@DesignGoBrr thanks bro! You are great! Rtx 3080 si not enough? Have You got any video whit baked iluminatión?

[@sereen2407]

Great Tutorial! will you be posting more content like this in the future?

[@freedomofspeech2100]

Can you have Lumen WHILE maintaining 90FPS which is crucial for a VR Experience?

[@DesignGoBrr]

90fps is not crucial. 70 fps is. Anything bewlot that increases how many people get motion sickness. Frame reprojection means that you only need to render 35 frames.

I have very very very stupid question : before I dive into this course, can I follow this if I still don’t have a vr headset ? Meaning plugging blueprints and seeing it in screen as it would be in vr headset

[@DesignGoBrr]

Not a stupid question. You can construct the level fully without the headset, but of course testing it out would be pproblematic. You can map the key presses to keyboard keys temporarily and just play it as a regular 3d level i guess

[@zatlanibrahim5438]

Oh cool :D I’ll start this course then , thanks awesome teacher

[@PascalNocquet]

Really really interesting and instructive.. There aren't many ressources on VR in UE5, this video and the next one are a must see.. And having done video tutorials myself I know how much time you put into it, so thank you. I'd be very interested if you do another one to see how you actually manually open the door, i.e. get the proper hand animation to grab the handle, and pull it yourself.

How can we interact several users simultaneously on a 3D model of an industrial plant using virtual reality glasses?

[@coreyshaw3701]

I don't know if they broke something or what with version 5.5 but when I click on the 3 dots and pick VR Preview, I get a popup from Unreal that says it needs to pick a different GPU and restart. It restarts and shows VR Preview is picked but I don't see the same window you do in my Oculus Rift S. I don't see anything with Unreal. Just the usual stuff from the Oculus App. I stop the simulation and then the regular desktop mode is selected for the preview. Every time I tell Unreal to go to VR Preview, it restarts but makes no difference. Bummer! Wanted to tinker with this.

[@DesignGoBrr]

And that's the top 1 reason why every single developer works with older versions of UE that are proven to be stable. I suggest rolling back to UE 5.4 and waiting a few weeks for UE 5.5 hotfixes to go through.

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@coreyshaw3701 I have never used MetaXR .. I'm using OpenXR for all my VR dev stuff, so can't help you with that.

[@coreyshaw3701]

@@DesignGoBrr I saw OpenXR in the plugin list but that doesn't work either. I found a different way to get the plugin to at least show up (because the almighty Google is terribly wrong on how they say to do it), but that doesn't work either. I stopped caring now. Oculus Rift S and Unreal just don't want to play nicely I guess.

change the collision complexity of your room meshes to "use complex as simple" - that should fix it

Can I use VR to develop my game even if my game isn’t supposed to use VR? Can I use it to move around assets and use the logic tools?

Yea, you can set it up in a way that you'd be using a VR game mode for project preview and a different game mode for the actual shipping build

What do you think become VR ,AR developer future ?Is this a high-demand career?

[@DesignGoBrr]

The VR/AR scene is still tooyoung. The headset wearing experience is still horrible and people do not want to scan a QR code on their phones to see a crappy 3D model of a purse that the are buying. Pokemon GO has proven that there indeed is a future for AR entertainment, multiple companies use AR for construction/manufacturing/inspection and so on - which shows that industry also benefits from it. BUT only in niche areas. I see it all getting better and better, but very slowly. Might be another 10-20 years before we see something really revolutionary in this field. My suggestion would be to focus on a particular field - design, gamedev, architecture, IT and then on top of that also learn of to enhance it with VR/AR. Just being a VR/AR developer seems like to big of a gamble of "I really hope META/Apple/Microsoft" will keep investing money in this field.
