Autoliv Event Concept Art 1

The recent Tiltbrush work below has remined me that I have quite a few projects that were locked due to pending client approvals, but I can now open them up again. This project was an ambitious plan to have integrated AR appllications and interactive displays for a whole series of events in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The concepts needed to be put together very quickly, within a few business days, and working in Silo, Modo and Sketchfab, with a little Photoshop for texturing, allowed a great deal of creative freedom.

TiltBrush export to Sketchfab

Admittedly, I have not used Tilt Brush for my Oculus Touch in months. It's not that I don't enjoy Tilt Brush, I really do, and l also feel that this application over so many others is a great way to showcase the immediacy and immersion of creating content in VR. But the lack of layer 'control' is something that I prefer in Quill over Tiltbrush, and I found the export process to be very challenging, both to other 3d applications and to showcase tools like Sketchfab. So I was really pleasantly surprised to fire up my Oculus Touch with a recent set of updates to see that Sketchfab now has implemented export direct from the interface of Tiltbrush! I will need to experiment more with this for sure. More info on this here:

'Bees' Wisdom', diving back into Kingspray VR

Two years and a few months ago, when I first picked up my Oculus Rift and Touch controllers, there were a few apps that really sold me on the possibilities of creating art in VR, or using VR as an active prototyping platform. Tiltbrush I had already used on a Vive, but the wnads as input method were really holding me back. Quill was the app that changed my mind, even though Medium has a ton of promise. Kingspray Graffiti I stumbled across accidentally, but is a tremendous amount of fun to come back to every once in a while. 

Jul Frukost

I made this before the holiday for a website and mailer for my company's tech breakfast series before the holidays; then promtly forgot about it. But it's back!

Google Blocks, Back onto Robots

No apologies, but it's been a pretty busy time, with the move to Sweden in the spring, and my computer was in mothballs on a ship for a really long time. Then no internet for a bit except for at work...but I am coming across a bit like Job here. It's kind of the opposite, as I feel like there need to be times that you can rest for a bit, relax and experience life for a bit before diving back into creating again. 

Why not start with a simple bot again, made in my favorite tool, Google Blocks in VR?

This new robot, Gustav, seemed to be in need of a story. He's lost his little pet, Fritz, who is always disappearing to find new and interesting food in the city. Fritz can sense when Gustav is near, though...
