VR Model Making with powerful tools.
In the 1990s a talented coder created a software application called Anim8or. Still there when I looked. Still excellent too. This afforded high end modelling techniques to amateurs and gave you an excellent grounding in the language, methodologies and techniques used by professionals. You could then take your rendered models into an in-app film studio and animate fly-bys and other complex motions. It gave you a chance to emulate the big-guns current in the CGI universe at the time. This gem of an app does exactly the same and in a VR environment. It encourages exploration , trial and error and practice. There is solid ground work for beginners in here. A really excellent place to start to explore the craft and imagination of Subdivisional Node Based Polygonal Modelling and more. It’s a skill and tricky stuff to master but to have an app of this quality to “cut your chops” on is great. It’s like being back in 1999 but in 2022 . Exciting times. An animation studio plug-in would be welcome as would more varied in-built textures. Check out , online , the Ani8or galleries of models for inspiration. Also check out Arkio in App Lab. They are also moving this type of work forward in exciting ways. This is how the next generation of superstars get started. Fab!
