5 Unity Assets for VR You Need to Know

Coding every little aspect of a VR game would be ridiculous. That's why game developers rely on frameworks to do the heavy lifting!

Hey guys! You've probably been following along with every one of my tutorials, listening to my every word (ha), and I want to steer you back in the right direction. You. Don't. Have. To. Code. Everything. There are glorious frameworks to download that we can use as a base layer for our games. Most of these have all the interactions you need for your game! As a solo or indie developer, you won't want to or be able to code every line in your game. Please check out one of these frameworks and play around with it. Make a game in a week or so, and let me know in Discord how it goes!

Really glad you enjoyed my Auto Hand asset Justin! Keep up the great work on your channel :)

Thanks for sharing this, in the middle of a gamejam right now and was consider a vr game afterwards, no point in making a huge 3 month headache into interaction systems as an individual when this exists, it only makes sense for time constraints and what's possible.

Glad to see all the good credits and the fact that auto-hand made the list

Great vid man. hurricane and Hexa body are made by the same developer and can be integrated together. When combined they are unstoppable. You basically have the full functionality of boneworks/HLA in one neat package. So good

Just came across this - Awesome round up, and thanks for including VRIF! :)

[PennyEvolus]

I love programming bro i spent 18 hours crunching out my portfolio project to get into uni

[cleverballoon]

This was great, I cant wait to see your devlog, uless it will likely be a part of your devlog it would be great to see a tutorial on interactable joints and sliders, I still cant work it out fully for some reason

[llugaes]

why didn't i see your video sooner! really appreciate sharing those wonderful tools!

[JorgeCastellonJr]

Will you do any tutorials for these assets? Hurricane VR in particular.

[fused]

Really looking forwards to this one!
Keep up the good work! :D

Funny enough, when I was looking for a vr asset VRIF was the first one I looked at before finding this video, and as you were going through the options I kept putting that one lower and lower on on my list. Then of course you actually start talking about it and I get another lesson in why I should stop assuming so hard.
*update: turns out I bought autohand like a year ago and just forgot so I guess that makes it an easy choice
**honestly now that I compare I think I would've rather got any of the other options... And that kids is why we do our research

Thanks bro! I love it, i am a 3d generalist but also love make games and the gam jams, i make a 2d game and a couple of 3d games in blender engine (upbge) also make one very basic in unity but my dream is make it in vr, so here i am lol, this assets for me can be very smart aproach, sorry my english and thank u again!

“Riff on it” in terms of testing games to see if they’re fun before putting in all your effort is a CRAZY metaphor lmao.
Did any non-guitarist catch that? It made perfect sense if you understood it.

[hiabex]

Very informative video. Im a Unity noob, and I have a question. Can these different systems be stacked in a project, so that you can get the best of what each offers? Thanks

[aarontsai]

Thanks for the tips man, saw you in both Valem and VR with Andrew discord servers haha

[rodneywheeler]

Im greatful ; for all you hard work and knowledge

[runycalmera-business]

Love this!!!
Do I need to know C# to program in Unity?

Do you need all these frameworks?

[Zendarshu]

Love the videos! They're super helpful to get started in VR dev! Can't wait for that game jam!

[vkan]

I love your channel! keep uploading awesome videos please!

[crisbrazil]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I am doing aging research and will be using some VR tech to run a few experiments. I need to build some VR games to simulate simple daily activities like cooking, doing laundry... Do you think any of those assets you mentioned would be a good fit? Any other recommendations? Thank you so much! Your videos are helping me a lot to figure out how to accomplish my tasks!!
