HTC VIVE x READY PLAYER ONE - Utilizing VIVE In The Filmmaking Process

[@MARUIPlugin]

Thanks to HTC Vive, every director can now use VR tech to build virtual camera systems and make camera work easier. From hobbyists to pros - everyone using 3ds Max or Maya for their CG can get the VCAT plug-in and/or MARUI-PlugIn and do their camera work in VR. Exciting times!

Waiting for James Cameron and Robert Zemeckis to produce a fully VR movie with a realtime 3d game engine.

Doing a movie about VR and shooting it with VR... VR-CEPTION.

[@nathie]

So awesome

[@VRKommando]

Hey look it's Parzival

[@Bahrta_sai]

Tap keyboard or DecaTxt keyboard would be a great way to send commands through a vr headset. You can find them on youtube.

[@flameknight7]

that is awesome and such a jump in directing

[@Duffpunk]

We need that thing from the movie which makes you feel it, when you get virtually kicked in the nuts. That would be so awesome!!!!

[@jankik9946]

Ready player one is an awesome movie

[@TheGeckoNinja]

soon VR players will be able to make their own movies like this

[@MinecraftGamer-he1lg]

Wait... so that means that there is a useable vr room for almost every place in the movie? If so that beta version of oasis could download all those places and boom. Ready player one + VRchat I could see it happening

[@Cunningcrow]

Damn, the real OASIS can’t come soon enough IMO

[@MikeMorash]

Cool creative process

[@123reivaj]

Very Cool!

[@gooboberti]

A sign of things to come, such as Oasis - beta. It's a free app for the Vive, Oculus Rift (and probably other headsets that support Open VR). In Oasis, there's a game called "Rise of the Gunters". This is the game you are looking for - to live that Ready Player One moment. High adrenaline, full locomotion fps in a sprawling battlefield against tons of enemies, along side human allies all fighting for that top score. Well, I'm the Global champion for the Week - grinding for All Time. I'm currently 6th place on the All-Time charts. I shall be your Gunter - I think there's an easter egg in that world, that's why i'm trying to master a system to score more coins.

[@MuwexTech]

Amazing!

[@ConcealedWeaponry]

Guys, all you need to do, is use the same suits and technology that you did to make the characters in the oasis move, and use that for the virtual reality.

Where i can find more dateils about making VFX in this movie

[@andresfelipesalazarbeltran3100]

E deseado esas gafas por 3 Diciembres pero no me rendire 😭

[@cwwang22]

it's cool

[@infirmux]

I'm thinking why Steven wears the HDM so up. I mean the straps are adjusted way too short. And even with the straps on his head, he often holds the HMD with his hand(s). Why? Old person with new tech kinda-thing?

[@Hentuix]

infirmux Exactly

[@FloppyFiona]

You took Cline away from the Rift. Why?

[@鄧福山]

wow

[@synthfljoe]

In b4 Spielberg makes a full vr movie

[@Lecrie]

I wonder if there's an Oculus Rift somewhere in the scenes as well, since they also used those for some things making this movie.

[@BeyondtheAgesStudios]

Yeah, don't care for the Vive, when they can drop the exterior sensors and go for something more internal and more dynamic, I'll be good for it.

[@BeyondtheAgesStudios]

The lighthouse system, you know what I mean. Am patient though, in due time VR will become sophisticated enough to reach that point. Until then I'll just stick with Microsoft's Mixed Reality Headset, or the upcoming Oculus Santa Cruz.

[@infirmux]

What do you mean "more dynamic"?

[@BeyondtheAgesStudios]

Yeah, exactly. Flexible and decent tracking without a lighthouse system, basically similar to the headsets of "Ready Player One." I know we are a ways out until then but as previously mentioned, am patient. :)

[@BeyondtheAgesStudios]

I'll have to have a look a that. Thanks! :D

[@lightningbolt7245]

And now they have the cosmos and the inside out tracking is a huge pile of shit.

[@bitcoinjedi2276]

James Cameron was doing this 10+ years earlier, as well many others.

[@MrZombie999]

I'll be more impressed when they do better work on them skin tintings so as to give more life-look to them V-Actors

[@cuerex8580]

i think they did it on purpose because virtual reality is not meant to be life-like. it's less complex on purpose and it more directly shows the difference between virtual and real. they also had the graphic effects on a very high level all the time in every polygon so they blended in nicely

[@MrZombie999]

True as that probably is I just felt a less flat (colour) looking skin would have worked better because it would have made the actors stand out a little better and by standing out a little they also blend in a little better too but this is more of personal preference.

[@cuerex8580]

this is also true, i think they did that on purpose too. i mean look how vibrant the virtual world was compared to the real one in that movie. spielberg probably just wanted to create a good vibe about the virtual game worlds so gamers will get soaked in even more, the focus was definately more about the game and possibilities rather than the plot

[@n-a168]

can we please release a virtual world like the oasis, cause oasis beta is no ofc, but its trash.

[@jankik9946]

Hey please can I get a free vive
