This month I am taking on a Udacity Teamworks project. The theme for this project is “change.” During the brainstorming sessions, I kept going back to the idea of perspective sculptures, which have always fascinated me.

Unity/VR Capstone Walk Through and Final Reflections
It’s official! I have completed my capstone project and the Udacity VR Developer Nanodegree! Overall, I am pleased with the results. I feel like I have learned a great deal.

In this case I had hoped to be able to create a more beautiful environment with good bloom effects and really evoke a sense of peaceful serenity. What I got instead were graphics reminiscent of MMORPGs several iterations back. Some of this is due to limitations of the VR system. Having to maintain 90 frames per second, puts quite a bit of pressure on computation and Unity’s built-in terrain and vegetation system is not as light as it could be.
Before finishing up this as a finished game, I’d like to see if I can optimize the resources some in order to create a richer visual environment.
