VR Me Up - VR World Builder

🚀 The Modern Building Pack has landed! Head over to (@playbuild25" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vrmeup.io/@playbuild25) and unleash your creativity - build, design, and play to your heart’s content. What do you think? #vr #metaverse #VirtualReality #webxr #threejs #vrmeup #indiedev

So, I've got keyboard running and walking "kind-of" working again, but turning with the mouse is still broken. Working with Quaternions makes my brain spin... both in real life and virtually 😄

So I thought I'd work on improving my VR avatar head/body tracking and movement today, but instead I broke a bunch of stuff😢... I guess it's back to debugging with bounding boxes and the good old threejs AxisHelper for a while😆 #vr #indiedev #gamedev #virtualworlds #codinglife

Over the past few years of building VR Me Up, one of my main aims has been to a allow users to (one day) create and share their own large and expansive VR worlds. Is that something people want to do in VR?

I added a fractal noise function to my virtual world builder LUA scripting language and I think it generates more interesting looking scenes than just using random locations, what do you think? #vr #worldbuilding #indiedev #gamedev

@felix_trz I'm always amazed at what can be built with agents. It's nice to see people build VR experiences as well! Using thumb motion to move the pieces in hand input mode is a great idea. Fantastic work! 😀

Launching Lithos today on Meta Quest. A #WebXR falling-block puzzle game built with #IWSDK in less than 30 hours of work so far. I wrote 0 lines of code. For people already fluent in agentic development, IWSDK removes the coding barrier. What remains is taste, judgment, and the conviction to keep collaborating with the agent until the idea works.

@lisyarus This is looking amazing! fantastic work 😀

I don't have true lakes generation yet, but sometimes an "ocean" (heightmap below zero) is generated surrounded by mountains and wooow it does look cool #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

Just added Lua click‑event scripting to objects. Doors that open and close are only the beginning — this is about to unlock a whole world of possibilities. What do you think? #vr #metaverse #virtualreality #gamedev

Hit a fun milestone this week, passed 2,000 unit tests on my virtual world #VR project🎉Years of coding, and it feels good to celebrate the small wins… especially when every single test passes 🥳 If you’re a fellow dev, drop a like! 😀 #gamedev #developers #indiedev #codelife

@Danielz08443259 Thanks 🙂

@vrmeup Very nice

Experimenting creating low-poly trees in #blender with multiple levels of detail and billboards for use in #VR worlds. I'm pretty happy with the results. What do you think? #indiedev #gamedev #webgl #threejs #blender3d

Adding global environment spheres to make switching skyboxes, fog, and other world‑environment settings much easier. #indiedev #VirtualReality #vr #gamedev #webgl

Been working on adding and editing environment zones to my #VR worlds this week. These let me change skyboxes, sounds, lighting, and more depending on where the player is. I think it’ll make the worlds feel way more dynamic. What do you think?

@willemhelmet @theworldlabs That's amazing!!!! 🤩

Using @theworldlabs Marble API to remix my apartment (or any Marble world for that matter!). Reply with what you think I should remix my apartment next!

@glTF3D This is really exciting! When combined with technology like @theworldlabs and #VR, I really think the future of spatial computing is going to be amazing!

We're excited to announce a release candidate for the KHR_gaussian_splatting baseline extension. This extension enables storing 3D #Gaussian splats in #glTF 2.0, the most widely adopted 3D asset delivery format. Learn more: khr.io/1mp

@Metaverse_Forum This is great news! I'm really excited to see how this can be used to create #VR worlds on the Web with #WebXR. The future looks amazing!

The Metaverse Standards Forum is proud to have been a a facilitator in getting this new Gaussian Splatting storage extension in glTF started! #Gaussian #Splats #glTF #interoperability

This is really exciting! Do you think Gaussian Splatting might become the standard for WebXR #VR worlds?

Working on a built‑in Lua editor that turns scripting complex browser and #VR worlds into a smooth, playful, creativity‑boosting ride. Really surprised how fast it runs 🚀 #metaverse #quest3 #virtualworlds #virtualreality #indiedev #webxr #threejs

Fantastic interview with Dr. Fei-Fei Li on AI and building 3D world models with Marble at @theworldlabs. The #VR space feels a bit quiet lately, but projects like Marble make me genuinely excited about the future of virtual reality. youtube.com/watch?v=Ctjiat…

@zwitscherluki The refraction effect while under the water is just wonderful... makes me want to dive in and swim around! 🤩

Finally got around to implementing proper swimming mechanics 🦦 #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

@SoftEngineer Looks amazing! 🤩

Finished working on automatic exposure for my WebGPU graphics engine. It's also often called "eye adaptation". Details: * Applies metering mask (same as Unreal), pixels on the edges affect adaptation less * Histogram-based, tolerant to outliers and different lighting conditions. * Reuses first mip of bloom downsampling pass to build histogram. This makes it very stable and cheap, we already perform filtering for bloom. * Separate UP and DOWN adaptation speeds, mimicking human eye behavior * Hybrid adaptation curve: linear for large distances and exponential on approach (same as Unreal) * Extremely wide luminance range from 0.001 nits all the way up to 32,000 nits. * Manual exposure compensation parameter in f-stops for artistic control. This is applied after adaptation to control overall brightness of the image.
