If you've been curious about what's cooking in next-gen VR, here's a good quick vid on Basis VR.

In spite of all the recent news and *gestures widely to everything* I'm actually super optimistic about this one slice of the world - incredible energy, incredible engineering - really good people

the next few years are going to be very interesting :)

BasisVR Framework Introduction YouTube video by Basis developer

Basis lets you set up your own VR games with ease.
Open-Source, under the MIT-License, it is designed for creators. Featuring strong systems for networking, user inputs and user presence. basisvr.org youtu.be/wz4TnMTppmg #basisvr #vr #gaming #unity3d

Added URP support to my cel shader, Crosstone! Recorded from @basisvr.org!

Crosstone was designed from the onset to integrate nicely into HDR lighting, and you can see how it reacts naturally to the APV-lit environment without problems!

Sigh, Bluesky wants age verification. I'm done with giving out my ID to companies at this time.

Feel free to make a burner Discord account and request a key from in discord.

Its actually in a month :) needed to give time for assembly

You read that right! Our next load test is coming up, and we are aiming to have 1000 users in one instance. Check out our Discord for more information! discord.gg/6m76H33XWJ see you all 8 AM Apr 20th AEST

I too am basic, just a reminder that basis is a framework not a platform. Here is hoping for a more open future :)

photos from the event

This week, we tested out vehicles!

We held a team scavenger hunt, which was a lot of fun.
thankyou ->
@aaronfranke.dev, for the vehicle's logic
@cnlohr.bsky.social for cilbox
@maebbie.bsky.social for putting together the video below

Basis is a framework, MIT-licensed, built on top of Unity

The all-star VR cast has come together for load test no. 3 of the @basisvr.org Framework. Creators from all sorts of places have shown again, that they are rooting for this critical piece of VR Development.

Audio degradation started around 300 to 400
Last load test it started degrading at 180

We also suffered from allowing all avatars to be downloaded in a single shot instead of staggered loading. Loading hundreds of avatars is not ideal in a single shot.

The issues we ran into were

Client crashes: There is more work to do here, but all is solvable.

Network bandwidth: Last load test we had, network issues around 800 mb/s
After multithreading our outgoing network Changes, it was about 1.8 Gb/s

Went to help us financially? basisvr.org/funding

Well, we did it again - we broke our previous record and achieved 679. Still, there's lots more to do. I have not been this nervous during an event since asking my fiancé to marry me. Appreciate you all. We will try to break 800 in a few months.

The next load test is just around the corner (2 days away), and we're still looking for more people to join us! discord.gg/v6ve6WT562 We are pushing to pass 600 in one room. Steam keys are available in Discord. The images below are from the validation test

We have our next load test scheduled for two weeks from now.

Feel free to join us to break our previous record and test our latest stable release!

awesome work! looking forward to seeing what people create :)

This seat system is designed to be much much better than the seat system found in VRChat. It theoretically can allow for any character to fit to the seat, and have them line up properly, with their knees over the edge.

The surface of the seat is defined with 3 control points for the back, knee, and foot positions, and a spine angle, which collectively define the surface of the seat. This is much better than a single transform, since it provides enough information to calculate how to fit any sized avatar to a seat, whether the character is tiny or huge. Similarly, the same applies for really big seats or really small seats.

When a character's legs are shorter than the available space on the seat, the back and foot IK positions will move forward or up, respectively, to keep the knees aligned with the seat. When a character's legs are longer than the available space on the seat, the knees will be moved instead to make room. If a character's upper leg is shorter, the knees will be moved forward. If a character's lower leg is shorter, the knees will be moved upward. If both happen, the knees will be moved both up and forward.

The control points do not have to exist at 90 degree angles to each other. You can change the relative angles any amount and the legs will bend in response. For example, if you want to kick back, just move the foot control point forward a bit. You can also adjust the spine angle if you want the character sitting on the seat to lean back. At the extreme, you can even make the character sit in a way that is almost entirely laying down, or almost entirely standing up (as long as the control points are NOT perfectly collinear).

A new dynamic seat system is coming to Basis VR @basisvr.org! It includes support for any size avatars on any size seats, in any orientation, with the legs and spine at any angle. This uses the same data as in the
@openmetaverse.bsky.social OMI_seat standard. PR: github.com/BasisVR/Basi...

Basis shares our philosophy, and is building the steps to hop into the metaverse. Join the conversation where we discuss our common philosophy and vision, next Monday - check either discord server for info and share your views!

Fraaaaaaaameeeeewooooorrk :)

heck yer happy to do a discord announcement if you get in touch :)

I released STF version 0.0.8!

It features a much improved animation module, and the ability to import in Unity directly into a @basisvr.org avatar setup!

STF also got a barebones website to go along with it!

We’re excited to officially partner with @basisvr.org
as they continue building the open foundation for VR.🎉

We look forward to continuing this strong partnership as we work on unannounced projects that will move the community forward inline with our creator-first vision.
