I am eagerly awaiting my HMD kit and I am laying the groundwork for a skydiving experience much like the "Wii Sports Resort" experience (with real wind fan!). All of my tools are in place and I am looking for help with :
Skybox Clouds
Anyone is welcome on-board...This is going to be jaw dropping. 😄
Well, if you are using Unity I wonder if Nuaj weather system would work for you.
It depends how they implement the camera system and performance could be too ghastly. I have it in my MirroredReality demo and can't wait to see if I can tweak it simply to work with the Oculus Rift. Flying through a real weather system would be phenomenal.
I've got this monstrous 12Gig Unity project which I played with Leap Motion interface in prep for my Oculus arrival. I've got driving cars, Leap motion control of in game character hands and a mini flight sim I can't wait to see with the OR system.
If you happen to be using Unity dev for this let me know. I may be able to help.
I am feeling the love already and my kit has not even shipped! 😄
-Right now I have the project started in Unity 4 -RaveTV I PM'd you we both work at same company different divisions... Sony DADC Mdr here. -Harleycw lets skydive into that bad ass 12G monster project! - Clouds\Skybox are the big things that I want to be perfect - Physx enabled volumetric coulds would be ideal! With particle emitters at the point when you exit the cloud so you could have a little "poof" trail when you exit a cloud
-Craigtron hell yes! I am stuck when It comes to assets\content. Anything you have landscape wise would be perfect. If you have a random map generation script also that would be sweet!!! Then when you level out with the "wing suit" you would have detailed terrain.
Thanks guys lets make this happen! I have to admit I am a newb with Unity and shaders in general but I have done a lot of dev.

I can't get you terrain... yet. Let me see what I can make happen with regard to that. But if you need SVG files, I can get you SVG files. Lots of 'em. Couple hundred thousand. Maybe more. Like, tonight.
I don't know if Unity has support for SVG files, but these would make really visually arresting particles/clouds.
The good thing is, this content pipeline has been growing (slowly... but steadily) for 5 years and continues to grow (slowly) every day.
Let me know if you're game, and I'll throw up a bunch on dropbox for you to grab and play with.
