One of the new Halloween how-to-draw lessons is a goofy mummy! Have you tried out drawing any of the new spooks yet? #DrawnWithPencil

@Kevo @PencilXR @VermillionVR @Logitech Wow, what a great way to combine the two apps!!

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

Amazing work!!

We sometimes come across unique ruins on our adventures, which I usually enter despite the warning signs. Drawn in @polysketchvr and animated in Blender.

In @polysketchvr, I'm introducing Jack and Sally to spring, enjoying the sun they have never seen.

[polysketchvr @polysketchvr]

v56 just released, now with an in-app tutorial that should help you get started quick and easy. Also, sample scenes and bugfixes :)

Life has settled down a bit here, hoping for weekly-ish updates going forward

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

Playing with multiplayer libraries for #unity3d to see what @polysketch would be like with more people.
So far, I've learned that each library solves some things really well and some not so much.
Now to see which will require the least-ugly workarounds.

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

@ramit Hey @ramit in the show and this podcast episode, I didn't hear mention of "what happens when child support ends?"

That get cut, or did you decide it wasn't worth delving into?

[Mischa Winkler @ronjart]

With all their shortcomings, @Meta avatars are still some of the best available, especially if you focus on Quest hardware. I wrote a guide on how to integrate them into @unity with for multiplayer use with @normalvr networking: https://t.co/6ZPaqFgKnC

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

@ramit I've always managed our money solo. I'd occasionally try to involve my wife, but I didn't know how to get her interested. #HowToGetRich has gotten her curious & inquisitive! We're talking money dreams on date night and removing hurdles that kept her away. Thanks, @ramit !!!

[Gabriel @SomeHoopyFrood]

Hey indie XR creators, developers, artists who'll be in SF during GDC ... mobile meetup is good-to-go!

This is a casual, ad-hoc meetup, no GDC badge required, just a love for XR creation and experiences :)

Eventbrite: https://t.co/mA25f1kvMP
Discord: https://t.co/ui9zY41I4R

😁

[Gabriel @SomeHoopyFrood]

Not making any $ of this thing yet, but reviews like this make it worthwhile. So happy that @polysketchvr is enabling people to jump right into 3D modeling, zero fancy-pants knowledge or clumsy old methods required.

Many thanks @rosetintedreams, excited to see what you create!

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

Amazing

[Gabriel @SomeHoopyFrood]

Modeled in VR with @polysketchvr, rendered with @unitygames ... Kayoua will share the process vid tomorrow, I couldn't wait to share this though 😍

#unitytips

Unity changed play mode options. Default settings will go back to breaking play mode.

Now go to Edit->Preferences->AssetPipeline and set "AutoRefresh" to "Enabled Outside Playmode"

You can once again edit scripts without breaking your play session #unity3d

[Bill Ramsour @GameDevBill]

#unitytips

Tired of script changes breaking play mode? Go to Edit->Preferences->General, and you can then set:
"Script Changes While Playing" to "Recompile After Finished Playing"

Now code changes in play mode won't recompile until after exiting play mode!
