Virtual Reality Development Tools:

Which are the best?

Virtual Reality has become the true ally of humanity. The wide range of possibilities it offers makes it the best alternative in any sector. But in order for this alternative to be successful, it is necessary to know virtual reality development tools and, among them, to elucidate which ones are the best.

Several things need to be taken into account for this purpose.

First of all, in order to know which virtual reality tools are best suited to our business, we must take into account the sector to which our company belongs. sector to which our company belongs.

It is not the same to use virtual reality tools aimed at the leisure and entertainment sector as it is to use them in, for example, architecture.

In addition, we must take into account the scope we want to reach. That is, we must study and investigate what is the return we expect to have and if we would be sure to reach that goal..

Another point to take into account is our target, because the success of this innovative bet will depend on it.

Targeting a young audience that is more familiar with new technologies is not the same as targeting an older audience that may experience more complications when it comes to enjoying an immersive experience.

For this reason, it will depend on which tools we should use.

If you have already analyzed all the above points and you just want to make sure about which are the main virtual reality development tools and which are the best for your business, pay attention, because you are about to meet them.

What are the main virtual reality tools?

It is never too late to become a true virtual reality professional and master the tools that encompass it.

As we have already pointed out, there is a wide range of possibilities that will condition the management and use of these tools based on the project in which we want to immerse ourselves.

Therefore, we should pay attention to the following proposals that we are going to provide you with:

3D modeling software

It is a fundamental element for any application based on virtual reality, whose purpose is 3D modeling.

If one of our objectives is the creation of our own customized designs, the use of this 3D modeling tool is essential.

For this type of software, we must consider the existence of two alternatives two alternatives:

On the one hand, it is necessary to take into account the existence of programs focused on the creation of infographic formats or the development of videogames.

They are also often used in the film industry for the design of polygon meshes. polygon meshes in order to produce 3D modeling, mapping or multiple other variables.

On the other hand, we must point out that there are other programs that, of course, are based on 3D modeling, but they have little to do with polygonal meshes.

This type of software is most commonly used in the field of architecture and engineering.

Image editing software

Textures and material handling come into play in this type of software.

Therefore, the Illustrator or Photoshop are the perfect tools for virtual reality development.

Now that we are aware of the types of software available for virtual reality creation, it is necessary to point out which ones are the best.

On the one hand, we find Unity, which is positioned as the perfect tool in the field of video games. It allows the creation of them in different platforms.

That is to say, video games for computers, for video consoles, for cell phones, etc.

Such creation is possible because Unity contains a visual editor and allows programming via scripting. These features make it possible to obtain totally professional results.

On the other hand, there is Unreal Engine.

It is the most advanced real-time 3D modeling tool available today, enabling immersive experiences through photorealism.

It is used to create “humans” digitally.

This tool is used in the framework of some of the creative projects we will see below.

What areas encompass creative projects and what are the best tools?

Undoubtedly, the implementation of creative projects is advisable for any sector. But, at present, the industries that are betting more on them are:

• Architecture

In this industry it is important to note that there are two very useful and easy to handle tools:

Storyboard VR: It is a free and easy to use program. It allows the user to create prototypes, as well as access, sort, scale, animate and exchange ideas through a series of 2D assets.

Eyecard VR: This tool allows the design and, therefore, the creation of virtual scenes that border on fantasy and are interactive. In addition, it allows real-time rendering and the control and movement of objects that you can find in a 3D library. Of course, all projects can be shared through its App. For this program, it should be noted that virtual reality glasses are necessary to use it.

• Art and others

In this sector, the most recommended programs and tools are:

Gravity Sketch: It is based on immersive 3D design. Initially, its main application was based on the creation of VR sculptures for automotive and footwear designers. It should be noted that this tool is very intuitive and is designed for mixed reality.

Quill: This tool gained fame thanks to the creation of the first animated illustration made entirely in virtual reality: “Dear Angelica”. Its use is recommended for those who love painting, as it allows you to work with oil, watercolor or pencil and turn the design into a 3D animation.
