Github + UE4
How to setup github for UE4 project. The step is similar to setting up Github for Unity.
WordPress Recovery
At some point of time, my dev notes for EnlivenVR suddenly stopped working, and I was devastated. However, today I was curious and try to revive it. I know the database is still there, and I can access the old site using FTP, so I try to remake the site, and somehow it works! Before […]
SteamVR Knuckle Bow Interaction Setup
Today, I’m trying to slowly update old VR projects to use Unity XR system and SteamVR. In the past, they were not compatible, so I was stuck on Unity 2019.1.14f for a while. Last year, through a game jam, I learned there was a workaround for it, but I could not figure out how to […]
Character Drawing Process
Overall figure drawing process: Get reference picture(s) of the character we want to draw. Do a warm-up drawing – 30 secs to 1 minute gesture drawing of various poses, about 10 or so of them. Don’t worry about capturing too much details, but do focus on capturing the motion and intent as quickly as possible. […]
3ds Max – Remove Material

SteamVR Sliding Door Variations
So far I came across two variation of the shoji sliding doors in Japanese Mansion A project. They were nested sliding doors, in a sense. Since they had multiple components compared to the simple sliding door, I had to break their colliders a bit more to work properly. This article showed how I approached these […]
SteamVR Swing Door Interaction
After sliding door, we have swinging door interaction this time. I started by watching this youtube tutorial: I got the handle portion to work, but the door panel portion was being wonky. So I simplify my model hierarchy. I made sure holding the handle can open the door panel instead, and worry about modeling the […]
SteamVR Sliding Door Interaction
As I walk around the Japanese Mansion project, I noticed it would be nice if I can open and close the slide door. I guess my brain was tired yesterday, so not until today I realized drawer interaction should have the same physics as slide door. When I mentioned it to PG, he was just […]
SteamVR Teleport
It has been a while since I actually set up teleport system in VR. I was thinking a few months, but it’s probably has been more than a couple years. The last time I implement it was when testing Undead Darling’s high school level. Gosh, that’d be over 3 years now. Today I start revisiting […]
