Hi all in this thread. Let me introduce myself. I am Jan Herca; I work as developer and in my spare time I write novels and learn about game-engines.
The work you are sharing here is really amazing. During the last months I have been working in some Rome models inspired by the work you have shared. I have started a project with the aim to show the most remarkable spots of ancient Rome in VR.
I know this forum in devoted to Sketchup, but I was wondering if anybody has give a try to the Oculus Rift headset and use any VR demos. I think VR is a big step in the path to show this amazing models of ancient Rome to the public.
The webpage of my project is this: http://reflectorofthepast.wordpress.com/. There you can find first videos and updated info about my progress.
My intention is to use Unreal Engine 4, Oculus Rift and other devices as PrioVR to make a VR applicatoin in which experience the sensation of being in ancient Rome. I am considering the idea of sharing this project as opensource, with all the models I make, the assets, etc, open to any developer. I am seeing the possibility to use Perforce for this or sth similar.
Please, if anybody is interested in this idea, do not hesitate to contact me. Here is a good amount of talented people using 3D apps to model Rome, and I would love to join with you in this work.
Thanks everbody.
Jan
