My Neighbor Totoro In Virtual Reality 45
An anonymous reader writes "Nick Pitton, the developer behind the Spirited Away Boiler Room VR experience, has released his second project: the bus stop scene from Studio Ghibli's famous movie My Neighbor Totoro, once again in virtual reality for the Oculus Rift. Pittom 'hand-painted' the textures in Photoshop to recreated the painted-background feel of the movie. For the characters (Totoro and the Catbus) he used a cel-shaded approached to approximate the animated look from the movie. For his next project, he plans to recreate the ship and characters from the acclaimed anime Cowboy Bebop."
Not the best Demo for rift i've seen... (Score:5, Interesting)
I couldn't help but notice:
- Input delay for head tracking (most probably due to Unity)
- Head tracking doesnt seem to match where he wants to look
- He's having to "flick" his head many times to "fix" the headtracking.
Back to basics and coding is whats needed here.
These scenes are pretty awesome (Score:3, Interesting)
