Calling all 3D artists to duty! VR has the transformative ability to teleport people to another state of mind. Imagine where you could be if you modeled or painted your own environments? Imagine what the world would look like if you had an entirely different UI (user interface around you)! In this week’s challenge, we take a little inspiration from Persona’s UI or Iron Man’s HUD (heads up display) and open up the challenge to you to design your own UI/HUD!
In this challenge, we open it up to any virtual reality creation tool and/or 3D software. The only goal is to create an original UI and/or HUD that would work well in a VR setting.
Go wild and while we encourage it, don’t feel constrained by the Tony Stark aesthetic! After you’ve created your own Mark VII or dual worlds, tag your art as #VR-Interface to enter.
