EU-experience with PS VR?

Lately I bought a PS4 Pro + PS VR. I have to admit that I'm impressed by "Skyrim VR". What did Bethesda? They just ported the original content of Skyrim SE to VR. Any chance that MA will do the same with EU? I think this chance is pretty small. Hopefully we can do such things by ourself soon. At least in a poor format for limited areas.

Atm I'm up to learn how to export my 3d-content to PS4 and use it with PS VR. Seems to be not that simple so far. I need something like "Unity" ... But I'm a bloody noob in this area. I mean, I can grab the 3d-geometry from the game and import it to my CAD. Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. Wich would mean, that at least I myself can walk through selected spots of EU. And probably other folks who own a PS VR. Additional I could use my 3d-archives of old spots and make them accessible for VR. No clue if this will work.

What do you think?

 

I know MA as well as you MC. Two years waiting for fixing my 5k apartment at Medusa's Head, two years to bring Makup back. No worries. I have no respons so far from my ask around regarding porting 3d-data to PS4 VR. But I'm optimistical each process outside MA is faster than MA themself.

Two hours ago I sat IN a X-Wing and defeated an imperial attack with a Stardestroyer and a bunch of Tie-fighters. Okay, I was shot 11 times. But it was really impressive to fly around a Stardestroyer in VR.

 

Well, my intention is different. EU spots would be just sparring partners to learn more about porting my own 3d-models to PS VR. I don't want to play EU anymore since four years. So UI doesn't matter. I just want to walk through some special places. Either grabbed from EU or build by myself. With PS VR and DualShock-Controller like I can do in Skyrim meanwhile.

I assume I'll need something like "Unity" to do such things. But I'm a complete noop at this point. At the other hand it's a nice challenge, isn't it? I want to grab / build a scene, import it to Rhino or 3D Studio and treat it regarding my needs. Than export it from my PC to PS VR and walk through it. For this first step I don't need any interaction. Except collision control ofc. And I don't want to buy a new PC for more than 1k Euro to run the PS VR. I want to use the PS4 Pro wich I bought for 313 Euro.

 

Another aspect would be kinda museum or exhibition of EU animals / robots / vehicles / old and new places in VR. When I start the X-Wing-mission of "Star Wars Battlefront" a giant AT-AT walks in front of me during the loading process. That's really impressive because it's a really giant machine. Same with the dragons in "Skyrim VR" wich are really big compared to that small animals at my flat 24" monitor when I play the PC version.

 

Well, I downloaded "Unity". I have absolutely no clue what I can do with it. Next days will enlighten me, I hope.

 

Okay, first step: import 3d-content from other software into Unity.


Bahh, no Rhino3D. It is for sure one of the "most popular 3D applications". But I have to admit not a typical tool for game development. At least I managed to get an Atrox. Without textures so far.

The textures must be added seperately. But I will care for that later. For now I know I can import my own models easily. All the treating is another task.

 

Let's try a step by step project. First shot Port Atlantis. Textures don't work anymore with the grabber. What ever I try:

That's bad. Because I don't want to retexture all this stuff. Alas, simple geometry may be enough for such a simple game. To make it easier for the old computer, I went to Northern Space Base A. Walk through a hangar with VR may be impressive as well.

 

Yep, that's the major impression: WOW, it's big! At least what I saw in Skyrim.

 

Rhino. Okay, I got nine grabs from the hangar.

Have to adjust them and export to 3DS Max to be able to load it into Unity.

Unity. Hmm, seems to big to zoom out.

I'm in the middle of my Imperium Spec Lancer, although the original model's origin is a corner of the hangar. Strange. How ever. I must learn now how to export it to PS VR.

Unity doesn't support 3DConnexion devices. That's a major problem for me.

 

LOL! No, it's a tricky story. I bought Assassin's Creed Origins for my Desktop PC. Just to learn immediately that this PC is to lame. ACO can be played in UHD if one owns a PS4 Pro and an appropriate TV. Since I own such a 65"-TV already the question was: Buy a new PC for 1200+ Euro and enjoy ACO in HD or buy a PS4 Pro for 350 Euro and enjoy ACO in UHD (by accident I got the PS4 for 313 Euro because of a special offer of MediaMarkt that day). During my investigations I stumbled about Skyrim VR for PS VR. I play this game since ages and still like it. And I thought by myself: Let's run the full program and buy the PS VR as well. All in all 812 Euro. New PC + Vive costs? 1600+ Euro? Wich would mean no ACO in UHD. ACO is really impressive in UHD at a 65" TV - better quality than most of my BlueRay movies. Easy choice I think.

 

Well ... looks pretty lame:

Dunno what it is. I always prefer to do my own things.

 

I'm afraid 3D Ripper DX is too old. It's not maintained since 2011. But I never ever got a grab with animations. Contrary to some *.nif-files from Skyrim (opening doors). I think 3D Ripper grabs a frozen scene only. So the answer is: no.

Edit:
It is prepaired for a close:
