VIVE COMPOSITOR RED HOW TO
VIVE COMPOSITOR RED FULL

This means that to design anything of substance with this system you are going to have to have experience and know what you are doing in order to make it run smoothly.Īlso, you will need to know how to handle 3D via matrices. While it is fully functional there are a few things holding it back such as the buffer requirement. I started this project as a proof of concept and it remains as such. If you have an Oculus and try this out let me know how it works! OpenVR is supposedly compatible but I handled the controller input with the Vive in mind specifically so controls may map funny (and a few axes are not accounted for). I have not tried this with the Oculus because I do not (and will not) own one. If you do not have the VR setup then this system will not boot. If you have an underpowered GPU then you will experience severe jitter with your camera. The minimum GPU requirement is a Nvidia GTX 970 and you will need at least one base-station and a VR headset along with all attachments. You need a beefy computer to be able to run VR as well as the appropriate VR hardware. Each library contains its own license so make sure to check those out if you decide to make something with this extension. My DLL and source is covered under the MIT license, however it requires some 3rd party libraries such as GLEW, SDL and of course OpenVR.

You can get access to the source code and binaries from my github repo. This still happens fast enough that you can maintain 90fps with a decent CPU and, since most of VRs general limitations are because of the GPU, I expect decent games can still be made if designed with efficiency in mind. The only thing holding it back currently is the need to copy the render surfaces into a buffer each step in order to pass the texture data to the DLL.

I have a fully working system here that is technically capable of making a full VR Game. I have been trying to add support for the HTC Vive to GameMaker and finally have something to show. I may do so in the future but at this point in time it is only good as a casual reference.

EDIT: This project is long dead, poorly organized, and will need a complete rewrite to work with current systems.
