VR Multiplayer Hand Synchronisation Deep Dive

Hi everyone, welcome back to BeardyDevAdventures! After receiving some engaging feedback on the previous hand sychronisation video https://youtu.be/Zt4HSrWlxUg, I decided it's a great time to do a breakdown to explain how the VR hand synchronization system was built. In the ever-evolving landscape of Virtual Reality (VR), achieving precise hand synchronisation across a network can be the dividing line between a disjointed and a seamless experience. Utilising the capabilities of Unity, I've crafted a system that expands on Hurricane VR, the inverse kinematics of Final IK, and the network synchronisation framework Photon Fusion. So, stay tuned as we deep dive into the build, as I explain the mechanics that made the seamless hand synchronization possible! Again a big thanks to @Aisjam for their invaluable assistance in helping test the networking build.

Turning 2D Art into 3D Models with AI: Midjourney to Kaedim Example

In this episode of BeardyDevAdventures, I delve into using AI to transform a 2D image into a 3D model. I source a detailed illustration from Midjourney and later, using Kaedim, watch its transformation into 3D. While the model has its intricacies, there's always room for improvement and customisation. Explore the process with me.
