Virtual Reality Capstone Project

Space Planet

As part of a team of seniors, I was tasked with creating a 3d planet in Cinema 4d that would be the basis for a virtual reality game using the Oculus Rift. The purpose of the game was to allow the user wearing the headset to travel inside multi colored caves inside this 3d planet. Within the caves would be sea corals and stardust that would interact with the user.

The project took nearly 6 months to complete, the biggest burden being able to align the coding algorithms with the VR software to make the game interactive. 

This project was a personal challenge for me as I had never worked with 3d software before. It took me many tries and countless hours learning how to work with textures and materials, and building the planet from scratch.
