The Moasis: Melanie's first Unity project, Unreal 5 announced, exploring Engage VR

Zero to Start Podcast: VR development for beginners

Ten weeks ago the Bay Area began sheltering in place. Learning how to build an oasis in VR has never been more profound or essential, if not disorienting as we face a staggering loss of life from Covid-19 and outrage over the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

As we learn how to turn on the lights in the virtual world we’re building with Unity, reality is in turmoil and in need of healing. While technology alone can’t cure disease or injustice, VR is a powerful medium that can inspire compassion and collaboration, resilience and community.
We're on a quest to make that potential a reality. Thanks for joining us.
On our 6th episode Melanie and I recap:

• Epic Games announcement of the release of Unreal 5, their free to download game engine, introducing two new core technologies, Nanite and Lumen.
• A field trip into Engage VR for Caitlin Krause’s Collaboration in VR event
• Melanie’s first Unity project “Moasis” Unity render pipelines part 1
• Our quarantine dev mode playlists on YouTube: Elements and The Gamma
