Tilt Brush
Tilt Brush is a VR Painting app built for Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, and the HTC Vive.
Galaxy Formation
I took a lot of artistic liberties with this, so I wouldn’t say it’s scientifically accurate in any respect. I…
Direct X 11 + Unity
Got a new graphics card a couple weeks ago and wanted to put it through its paces. I was pleased…
