There are a handful to fundamental steps to help ensure a successful VR experience, whether in the office or away. This is the topic of today's post.
Plus, hear about a free virtual Enscape user group conference, Envision'21, I will be presenting at later this month.
Here are the tips I give our design staff, here at Lake|Flato, to help ensure a successful VR experience. We don't want to waste the team's time or inconvenience our clients with technology issues.
Export an Enscape EXE
I recommend exporting the Enscape model to an EXE file (see image above). This accomplishes several things, such as:
- No Revit/SketchUp/Rhino/Enscape license is required
- All materials are captured within the EXE
- All linked models are captured within the EXE
- Enscape opens faster
Create Wayfinding Views
Star the views you want to show up in VR, or on-screen (see second image below). Within VR, you can also see these views and jump to another location, rather than having to walk down a corridor and up stairs.
Toggle on VR
With a VR headset properly setup and connected to a capable computer, simply toggle on VR within Enscape.
Enscape Envision'21
Have you signed up for the free Enscape global user group meeting later this month? I will be doing a session, on the first day, called Maximize VR Potential. I will be covering some exciting new developments in VR.
