Now you can make your own 3D creations in VR
Making 3D models for
virtual reality is often a painstaking process, requiring both some serious
software and even more serious expertise. However, Google's latest project,
Blocks, aims to make the process of 3D modelling as easy as playing with, well,
blocks using the power of VR.
Available now for Oculus
Rift and HTC Vive, Blocks uses six basic tools and a colour palette to let
users draw, sculpt, and build an original 3D work of art while inside a VR
environment.
From there, models can be
uploaded to Blocks' gallery, where you can use your creations in other projects
or even download someone else's to mess around with.
According to Google, making
3D objects on a 2D plane like a computer monitor is “something our brains
aren't wired to do“, and hopes that Blocks will entice artists and developers
with any level of experience to try out a new way of 3D modelling in a 3D
space.
Though Blocks doesn't seem
capable of making anything on the level of a major blockbuster video game,
there is potential in Google's new software for lowering the barrier for
budding developers who want to create games .for VR -a definite plus for
pushing the ever-growing technology
