Cranky Something Studios

Focusing on recreations of former Disney attractions and experiences for PC, Mac, and VR.

@OrangeGrove55 Have to remember that the Disney company is a large corporation made up of different channels, divisions and areas. The legend ceremony is supposed to encompass the entire company, not just the parks and animation.

Getting the House of the Future setup for a new VR experience.

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

It's been awhile, but we are getting a few experiences in place for our next release! #earlybuild

Project: Fairwinds, the VR recreation of The Tower of the Four Winds from the 1964-65 NY World's Fair is now available via the Oculus App Lab! https://t.co/Lb489KlJ1m

Anytime I see the words "Disney" and "Virtual", I'm like "Sweet!". Then I realize it's not VR related, then I'm all, "Oh... still cool though!"

Wow... Just looked, and the site says it's "Published". Guess it's shiny enough! Now it's time to "travel into the incredible universe found within a tiny fragment of a snowflake." #ATIS #disneyhistory #Oculus #UnrealEngine https://t.co/tCSeykETes

It took 7 weeks, but we made it through the AppLab Content Review!!!! Now onto the Publishing Review and be judged in all these other areas... Wish us luck. #oculusquest #UnrealEngine #disneyvr #atis #vr

Tower of the Four Winds has been submitted for Quest App Lab. Still waiting on approval for Adventure Thru Inner Space. Fingers crossed! We are making progress on future projects and can't wait to get more out to everyone.

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

We submitted Project: Snowflake (Adventure Thru Inner Space) to Oculus's App Lab earlier this month. We are hoping that it gets approved soon and make it easier for folks to "...make this fabulous journey".

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

We are in the process of moving Adventure Thru Inner Space, and Tower of the Four Winds to Oculus's new distribution system for Quest. This will help people avoid having to jump through hoops with side loading.

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

We've been able to drop most of our draw counts by over 30%, except for objects. Still working on that, but time to test fps to see what else may to be done. #Blender3d #UE4 #HoTF #disneyhistory #VR

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

@ScottAttula Well have it in there. We are adding smooth motion to the Tower project. Testing it this weekend for PC VR, and I'll see about updating the Quest version with it too.

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

Lots to optimize to get this working on the Quest. Had to do the same for other projects. Lots of work, but it's worth it!

We are offering free shipping on out Adventure Thru Inner Space ornament for the rest of the week and can have it out the door and shipped if we receive the order by 5PM MST. Hang another memory on the tree! https://t.co/lAoc295QgB

280-450 fps on PC-nonVR. I have a lot of room to play with post processing!

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

Working on a PC, non-VR, version of The Tower of the Four Winds, Project: Fairwinds. May even have a Mac build going. A few weeks of testing and we will see what comes of it!

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

Some of our projects deserve to be made physical, so I'm recalibrating the 3D printer for a new print head.

Early render of the House of the Future for our VR recreation. #devprogress #UnrealEngine #Blender3d #disneyhistory

[Cranky Something Studios @crankysomething]

One of the documents from the Monsanto archives listed every part of the House of the Future, and what they were for. One of the oddities we found. Where did the kids go before and after these ages?
