I'm really fan of VR. As a child, i was amazed of how it was represented
in all those science fiction movies and really hoped that it would become real.
Years later, i bought one of those VR headset as soon as i could afford it.
"Inside the headset" is my contribution to promoting VR as a great visual experience. It's a fake Meta advertisement video meant to show a first glance
at what you can see inside the headset.
Despite this project being my first 3D project, i wanted to create environment
i would be able to visit in my VR headset.
All those environments were created in Blender. I tried to show the variety of styles and environment you can create and visit in VR. In order to visualize those environement i had to convert all my cameras to panoramic view and render 360° images.
Back when i started the project, i did a rough storyboard. Even though i didn't exactly followed it, it did help me a lot guiding me during the creation process.
I wanted to create diverse environments that could give off differents moods and convey emotions to the user.
The warm colors of the first environment are meant to be a way to welcome the user.
The environment get gradually less friendly, getting the user to have different emotions and reactions. The goal of the whole thing is to be an experience that introduce the user
to the variety of content and style VR can emulate.
Here is some behind the scenes shots from the files i worked on :
In order to get hands model to do the gestures myself,
i used Bonelab and some mods.
I created some HUD as close to those in the Meta Quest 2 as i could in After Effect.
I added some sound design with actual sounds from the headset
and some background noises fitting for each environment.
Thanks to all the people who helped me in this project,
be it on a technical or a creative side.
