How do you create a Virtual Reality experience from scratch?

Virtual reality has ceased to be a fantasy concept and has become one of the potential protagonists in our daily lives. Whether at work, in our free time, in our education… etc.. In short, it has managed to sneak into a myriad of activities that involve each and every one of the everyday situations that surround us. For this reason, many people are considering creating a virtual reality experience from scratch. And while it is true that when a beginner wants to get down to work to create his own virtual reality project it does not seem an easy task, the truth is that it is not so complicated. Although not many years ago, virtual reality seemed to come from the world of science fiction, today it is already democratized. So, if you are one of those who want to get started in this digital world, here are some of the options that can help you create your own virtual reality experience from scratch.

Get started in Virtual Reality by painting, creating your own character or designing your own virtual world.

Although, as we have said in the previous paragraphs, virtual reality is common in all our activities and has already been adopted in our reality, there are still some obvious gaps. One of them is the acquisition of a VR viewer. Not everyone has access to it, not because of its handling, which is undoubtedly easy and intuitive, but because of its cost. What is true is that virtual reality glasses or helmets are not a prerequisite to access the wonderful world of digitization. Today, we all have a cell phone and from it, believe it or not, we can design virtual spaces. And, of course, we can also design it from a computer. You can paint, create characters and even design your own virtual world. Some of the most interesting and intuitive tools or applications that we have today are:

1. Tilt Brush

This tool was one of the first created for the field of virtual reality when it comes to painting. In addition, it allows the import of 3D models and images, as well as the capture of 360º videos.

King Spray

With this program you will be able to reproduce spaces and paints used for graffiti. It is able to distinguish each of the surfaces on which we want to paint or create.

3. Gravity Sketch

It is the most popular among designers, especially in the automotive or textile fields. It is a tool that allows the design of 3D models and the manipulation of control points within a scenario.

4. Quill

This application was developed by none other than Oculus Story Studio. The purpose of its creation is based on the creation of animated drawings or illustrations through virtual reality. That is, you can paint with any format of paints and make your drawing a 3D animated character and create your own short film.

5. Medium

If the reason why you want to get started in this digital world lies in the creation of characters, Medium is perhaps the most appropriate tool for your project. With it you can model, sculpt and create any object within a virtual reality environment.

6. Masterpiece

It is the most complete virtual reality program as it combines the defining features of Tilt Brush and Medium. There are two options to access this tool and, yes, one of them is totally free.

7. Blocks

It is an application designed by Google and it is also free to download. The peculiarity of Blocks is that it allows low poly 3D modeling and, most importantly, it is not necessary to have specific knowledge of 3D software to get down to work in the creation of such designs.

8. Sculpt VR

With it you can create objects and worlds three-dimensionally, online and in a completely collaborative way, thanks to an interactive gallery of contents where you can choose or publish what you want.

9. Painting VR

This program is especially aimed at painting lovers. It allows the creation of canvases by mixing colors and textures, simulating realistic works through virtual reality.

10. Animvr

Designed to draw and create your own short films, Animvr is a very appealing tool. It is true that it has a monthly cost of 25 euros, but the endless creative opportunities it allows, make it one of the most requested applications. It allows you to record, edit audio, move the camera wherever you want… In short, you can do absolutely everything.
