Environment Scale in Unity


Unity Porting Problem
Today I have experiment on the scale of my environment in VR by borrowing my frined's Vive and work on it as much as possible. I've learn quite a lot of the VR play area and how to port Unity file into Autodesk Maya back and forth so I can model the alley way. Using an asset from Unity, I was able to convert my model that I've made in Unity and port it into maya 2017 to get the right scale of it and start to model on top of it.

In Unity 3D, I used the Scene OBJ Exporter to open the file in Autodesk Maya 2017.



Setting up the crime scene in Maya before porting back to Unity 3D.




I have also noted down the required play area for my crime scene and  will consult with my lecturer as soon as possible to make sure I have the space I needed in the exhibition area.

Who Killed Teddy? Beta Test

Today our class run a beta test to anyone around The One Academy. Since my VR game needed a huge space to setup, i won't be joining my classmates. Luckily my lecturer got an empty classroom for me to setup once I cleared all the tables and chairs. I get quite a lot of feedbacks from the users as they provide me the chance to improve on my VR game. Here is the list that I deemed priority to work on. Feedbacks: Ambient music too loud, covering the dialogues from the detective. Play area needs to be as spacious as the crime scene itself. The Start Game menu confused a lot of people as they don't know they are needed to go in front of the button and click it literally Item list needs to be interactive I will look into these matter in the coming weeks. Progress is good enough as people loves the experience.

User interface Implementation in VR World

Image
I finally figure out how to place the UI into the VR headset, but I've no idea if it's the right way to do it, hence I will leave it as it is first due to Beta Testing is coming next week. After fumbling around and experimenting on how to display the UI on the VR headset, I have come across this forum which provide me a clearer answer about it. Apparently the normal way to display the UI won't work in VR. Screenspace can only be used on monitor screen, and Spatial UI and World Space can be used on VR but I have yet to adjust it properly to fit on the perfect viewing distance for the player.

Degree Show Setup

I've started setting up my exhibition booth and it took me quite a while to decorate till it looks how I visualized. One thing I have an advantage on the second floor is the detachable lights. Since my play area is huge and it will look empty, I decided to use light source to set the mood for my area, thus creating this atmosphere that closely fit to my detective genre. I even set a light that directly shine at the center of my play area, just like how the in game environment.  I did a few quick test to make sure that the game has enough safe space in between the play area and the walls around it. I even went to the Ace hardware to get the caution tape to decorate the floor, and I am happy of how it looks in the end.
