You always create such detailed, high quality but unusual vr applications. Very talented, but why do you do what you do? Is there a reason you've created such an advanced chainsaw carving simulator?

Thanks! My day job is working in AR / VR commerce at Shopify. While we do a lot with AR try-on and shopping specific usecases, I need an outlet for playing around with silly VR ideas that I have. It's also a really great excuse to learn new things. Take this simulator for example. I wanted to learn more about compute shaders in Unity and the marching cube algorithm. So I chose to build a small chainsaw sim out of it to learn about it.
I wanted to learn more about Unity ml-agents, so I taught an Oculus hand how to walk: https://twitter.com/pushmatrix/status/1333773295385194502?s=20
I try to keep the build time to about a week max, so I don't get bored or sidetracked with new shiny projects. It's pretty fun.

so is this a hobby or a job? ive taken javascript before in college and now i got my hands on a quest 2 and a lot of free time for the next 3-4 months. do you see unity sticking around for the next decade or so?

unity sticking around
Yes. Even if a different game engine / creation suite takes over, the skills you learn in Unity will be very useful in the game industry job market

Looks awesome but needs accidentally limb severing and blood splatter mode.

I just need the limb severing thing, forget the ice.

I just need the limbs, forget the severing thing.

Ooh those are some damn good graphics for the quest platform will this be available on Sidequest or is this just some prototype thing

Right now he said that build is just on pcvr

Then why is it on this sub

Because many of us use link cables or Virtual Desktop?

He also said that he is working on a standalone version.

Have you thought about adding an export model function so ppl could print out their creations?

Howdy folks! I've been busy getting my VR chainsaw app working standalone on Oculus Quest but decided to take a break to try out some ice shaders. Note that this footage is currently on PC with Oculus Link.
I'm hoping I'll have a standalone build for you folk in the new year :)
Okay I need this bro, amazing
This game just looks epic
Awesome, will be free?
Wooo!
