Using Blender In VR Is Awesome | My Virtual Reality 3D Modelling Workflow.

This video is all about showing you my Blender VR 3D modelling workflow. It really is a fantastic way to do some virtual reality modeling. This workflow that I use can be used in many different ways. I can't want to see where blender vr goes from here.

If you are looking to get this to work in Blender 3.0+ Plus using it on a quest 2 or another headset I would suggest you take a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@glumpfi]

Standing in a virutal room while editing it on a virtual computer inside that room, while you stand in that exact same real room, physically staring on a non-existing screen, using real mouse/keyboard is pretty mindblowing :D

[@stranostrani9212]

"Trying To Explain This VR Setup." hahahaha

[@rustywidget4813]

Wow, I remember being a broke 17 year old and wishing I could set something up like this in blender. 13 years later, I'm still too broke for VR but it's awesome to see it's been developed into a functional modeling environment. Eevee really pushes it to the next level, too!

[@xecoq]

You can get a used headset for around 200-250 probably

[@rustywidget4813]

@@xecoq It may surprise you to know that $250 is actually a lot of money for a lot of people and I have other, more important things to spend it on.

[@hotfroganimations]

@@rustywidget4813 I can relate, but it's getting slowly more accessible, especially with payment plans and such. I'm considering the investment for my animation work but I'm more terrified of it than anything.

[@olliveraira6122]

Really doing freelance 3D work is not as hard as you might think & you could easily make that money in a couple of days - everyone doesnt expect AAA quality and I would argue the wages can be quite good, you just have to know where to look for customers (or where they will look for you) ;3 Its not uncommon that people list jobs where they already have talent within there company that could do the work themselves but where they simply dont have time to get the task done (or private individuals in the same situation, they know how to, they know its easy, but they dont consider themselves to have the time) - it be creating an animation shot of a premade scene, modeling some interiors or doing some basic simulations.

[@ProPrince]

@@rustywidget4813 yeah its become so much more accessible if u wanna get urself something nice instead of a brand new phone every year get the quest 2

[@KellenChase]

So, let me get this straight, I com-lately change focus and career away from precision cad in blender, come back and you’re focused once again on exactly the thing that catches my interest. You’re awesome and I love your channel.

[@Keep-Making]

hehe... You might like to check out this new video that just came out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@elyepearson7263]

This is so awesome bro. I've been rewatching this video over and over again. Thanks for gassing up my dreams bro

[@Christontoast]

So satisfying!! Miles better than moving the heavy furniture and delicate items around to see if they fit one way or the other. Your Blender skill is so good you can do it blindfolded. Next time maybe include key presses so we can see behind the magic. Also interested In Quest 2 with airlink.

[@Keep-Making]

If you are still looking for quest 2 here you go =) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@HalkerVeil]

This is fantastic already. I can't wait for more features to improve productivity.

[@dancorvalan3205]

Ive been telling folks this feature would eventually happen and here it is. It is amazing bro! Ive been waiting to be able to go inside my 3D modules, maybe soon ill have the opportunity to so. Hum, few cool things that would be cool to use this VR environment would be while 3D modeling a car; another (and one i advise u to make a video of) is making a photograph into 3D. People will be amazed to see u inside a moment of your past using just a picture bro, do that video. And nice job dude, keep at it.

[@rossboone7591]

WHAT?!!! This is CRAZY man! Wow well done!!! blowing my mind!!

[@TravisRayLive]

This... this is incredible. Yup, I'm in love with this. Thank you *so* much for sharing this concept and idea.

Amazing! Thanks for showing this!

[@RyanKingArt]

WOW this is amazing!!! 👍‍

[@HowWebsite]

This is really cool!

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

Woa, next level stuff man

[@ChuckLeone]

I’ve been waiting for this type of interface for traditional 3D tools ever since unity demoed an experimental VR interface like 3 years ago.

[@bassemb]

I've been using various VR design/art apps for years and I look forward to Blender catching up to them, I can't wait! How do you make sure the scale is 1:1 and your zoom level & vertical position in VR is 1:1?

[@Platano006]

Love that Blenderception moment

[@ghhungyaaaghjust.6819]

I might continue my work but in Blender, to make my assets have a reasonable size, it’s really useful, especially for one who has issues with sizing.

[@DavidGetchel]

This is awesome! I'm modeling up my own workshop/studio apartment and want to interact with it in VR before building.

[@Keep-Making]

That is a perfect use case for it. I also use gravity sketch to do archviz. The work shop inside is 2.69 by 2.69m and the room office room where i'm going the vr is about the same size.

[@beryouchah]

thats mind blowing

[@Keep-Making]

My exact same feeling.... I spend hours trying to think of the best way to show this off to everyone to show just how epic this really is....

[@beryouchah]

@@Keep-Making i am a fan of ur vids man, i always learn something ❤️❤️❤️

Incredible!!!

[@saemranian]

Great Thanks for your sharing.

[@stefanguiton]

Amazing!

[@dancorvalan3205]

This is so cool. I want to do that but using my photographies. Immegine immerse yourself into some fun day with friends, then make a joint group immersion on that very memory u just did. Could be each in its own house living room but joint in VR to the same soot. This thing seems so interesting and awkward and fun itll be still photos 4.0.

[@mauriceshapero7200]

This is great - thank you. Is there any way of doing the same with 3ds Max?

[@mwamianim8]

This is dope

[@cheesedoff-with4410]

Yes, Blender. You were doing something I had never thought of using Blender for. I have no excuse for not learning this. I must look at your other videos. As for your workshop layout, would it be an idea to mount the air purifier on the wall closer to the printing fumes? It frees the bench a little and helps the purifier work better away from the corner.

[@Keep-Making]

I'll definitely take that into consideration. If you are looking to do this in blender 3.0 here is a new video you might like to look at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@madnessintomagic]

omg.. this is so cool. I’m so much more excited about the opportunity to modify an invention of mine into virtual use. Much less intimidating seeing it done this way. yay! Had this worked on Quest 2 yet?

[@Keep-Making]

Yup! I finally figured it out and here is the video showcasing it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@kwcnasa]

That's sick.

[@IvinNayaYoesel]

Awesome stuff

[@AustinOConnellVideos]

such a cool idea on how to use blender xr

[@relictile5297]

😶.... 🤯 incredible! I was trying to do this about a week ago on my valve index. not sure if the software is compatible with it, definitely going to try. thanks a bunch!!

[@Keep-Making]

There is one tricky little setting to do it with steam vr and in this video I show you it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@C1Logoslayer]

Yes I'm sooo combining this with chat gpt 4 to make the first hollo deck!!!

[@forestbrother7772]

Almost perfect timing! The last step on my 3D printed headset is the firmware and software. [almost done with the HMD]

[@Keep-Making]

That sounds awesome! Where are the plans to these DIY headsets?

[@Keep-Making]

If you make sure your headset is openXR compatible you should be able to get it to work in blender 3.0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@Santiodon]

Amazing!!!! and this is just the beginning !!!!! Quest 2 can be used instead of vive??

[@Keep-Making]

Here you so santiago for the quest 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@twitchEmailOkay]

amaaaazinng

[@ProdigiaGames]

This is brilliant. I've been looking for a good Blender workflow in VR and this, while still understandably in development, is a great starting point. I definitely want to give this a try (and the idea of jumping from something like Adobe Medium to Blender without losing the 3rd dimension would be super sweet)

[@MrRedwires]

OK this is FANTASTIC to see!! Does OVR toolkit also work with other software? More precisely, I'm wondering if it works together with FreeCAD, which has a VR Rendering add-on. That way, you could have this OVR Toolkit window open to modify/work on the parametric model, and get a 3D render next to yourself as well, which could be a ton of fun to try out :D Any chance you'd be willing to try this out? (I have no VR set right now, but am considering buying one~)

[@acurara0113]

that looks fun

[@Keep-Making]

It sure is 😊

[@InscrutableObjects]

So cool! What kind of headset are you using? (I want one!!!) Thank you for all of your awesome videos. I love seeing a new one pop up in my subscriptions.

[@Keep-Making]

Really happy you enjoy them. It's the HTV Vive. You can get it a a pretty good price now a days but you still need quite a beefy pc to run it.

[@AdamNorse]

@@Keep-Making Can you check things out in realtime in eevee with shaders on and all? or do we need a super computer for that ? : D

what a fun video xD

[@IggyCreates]

That’s awesome! How can you see your keyboard? Can you actually fully build using the controllers instead of keyboard?

[@Keep-Making]

I can see my keyboard through a TINY little gap looking down. Apart from that it's all vr. As for building in vr... You can do that in blenderXR but it's no longer being developed due to no one using it and poor marketing... BUT bleder VR is still being developed and the more of use that use it the more likely that the blender foundation will implement for functionality to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@rysea9855]

This looks insane, and really useful too. I can't wait to get a good pc and headset so I can try this myself. You must feel like a god, being able to change the world around you in real time like that

[@charlesblack7989]

Can you increase the size of the monitor inside of the virtual world? Great video! Thanks.

[@Keep-Making]

Using OVR tools you can do anything. You have had 10 screens if you want and make them as big or as small as you want and place them in any direction. I'll cover this in more detail soon but in the time being you might be interested in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKO7cnipjs58r6c

[@jorgevillagran987]

Brutal. 😳

[@goforbrokefilmstudios]

Are either the top left or top right views flipped horizontally? The angle of the view on the left doesn't match the angle you have your head turned. Example @ 12:58.

[@gbishel]

That's amazing!! I always wondered if you could do that on Blender. what about precision modeling in VR? 🤞

Hi, how do you open the "my VR view" window?

[@bill392]

That was very cool to watch. I kept thinking you might hurt yourself if you walked through the virtual space and crashed into the pile of real stuff at one end of the room.

[@Keep-Making]

I've done it once and I'm sure i'll do it pretty more times 😅. Glad you enjoyed the watch 😊

[@AmaroqStarwind]

Are you using a VR controller to emulate your mouse?

Omfg I've been wishing for something like this, I searched up pro VR modelling apps but they often lacked something. Curious to see what this is capable of.

Ha! Well it's more useful than it might look. I thought that too that it was not that useful and then actually doing it I really enjoy it even if its just to model something and seeing it come alive in front of you. With that said I completely see your point of view as I'm still a little bit there and I'll have to play around a little more to see if it will be my go too or not.

[@AkiaraDolls]

@@Keep-Making i know you'll go further than me.. that's why i love your channel, because i enjoy most things you show..i tryed vr on games some time ago and found it awesome on inmerivility..but as i see it works better for showing architectural or environmental decoration or equipment showcase than building. Also vr is excelent for simulations..but to build i feel it a bit complicated yet.

It sure is... With a bit of luck devs will get the ha g of it eventually 😅

[@prototype9000]

blenders ui is ancient dinosaur shit would be better having something like in neosvr

[@ctmc]

super disappointed that you can't interact with the world through the vr headset. adding bones to 3d models would be so much easier

[@seeking9145]

I can understand arranging furniture is faster. But small objects? Nah ... and it would be cooler to focus more about the feature of being in the model by vr than talking about where you table should stand. And when you can move them by hand, why are you still using display, keyboard and mouse? Then there is no need to do that in vr. Sooo many possibilities and so less usages of them.

[@prototype9000]

blender needs tog et rid of there usi and completely redoo it its still a shitty interface they need to make it much more friendly
