I haven't had a chance to ever watch the full #VRChat NYE livestream, and after it airs, then it's hard to track down as they don't typically post it. So I made a copy of their spreadsheet and made some notes and found video links ICYMI:

How lighting works in @Simulon

Using a professional on-set VFX kit, we showcase our unique Image Based Lighting system. Simulon employs ML to create a 360° HDRI from just one LDR shot, aligning it perfectly with scene data. Our virtual camera replicates the physical camera’s response to light, syncing seamlessly with the HDR info. Notice how the dynamic exposure changes on the virtual VFX kit closely match the real one.

Bonus: At the end of the video I place a 3D Dragon in the scene and make a capture, this capture is then rendered in the cloud to produce a photorealistic VFX video 🐉

More on the capture and render process in upcoming videos!

VR creator @Anagamedev wore her PIXEL RIPPED cosplay on the Venice Film Festival red carpet and is getting lots of fashion media attention. Her VR experience is playing at Venice Immersive & all of the directors get to walk the red carpet.
