LiveIt can't believe it hasn't even been a week yet since USD became a core component to Remixing Reality. It's laid the groundwork for so many awesome features that will be coming in the weeks ahead. However, I wanted to dig deeper into USD. I've been plotting what those new demos are going to mean to the business and the desire for people to back/fund/support the project. It's going to be immensely valuable to a small contingent of powerful people in the games industry. Before that happens, I want to be grounded in what I want out of this project, how far I want to have a hand in taking it, etc. I've also done some smaller code updates but nothing that seemed worthy of an update as of yet. Just know I'm working on this project harder today than I have ever worked on it. The vimeo link is a preview of some of the coolness coming. It's a very simple video that shows some amazing things. 1st: I create the scene, writing the configuration as USD using Unity as the renderer, it's running as a library embedded in an iOS app 2nd: I then load the same scene's USD document moments later with RealityKit as the rendering engine 3rd: I then open up the local USD files on device so you can see what they look like It's hideous yet gloriously beautiful all at the same time.
The moment I realized this stopped being a game and was becoming a new medium for creativity, I thought of Adam. My friends, advisors and partners say the same thing, “You’re an amazing programmer, but you suck at making videos.” I agreed but Adam was MIA, so there wasn’t much I could do. As the previous update pointed out: he’s back. I make the technology to let people create. That’s my job. It’s someone else’s job to make the creative output with it. These screenshots from my exchange with him show just how in synch we are with each other. It’s been several years since we chatted and yet, we’re picking up where we last left up: a technologist and an artist, working in tandem to make great things.
Just had an amazing call with Adam. He's an amazing person and a brilliant filmmaker. He's gonna become pivotal to RR's success. I just know it.
