Working with Infinite Variation: The Creation of Spin Mode in Synth Riders

Join Senior Developer Justin Dopiriak of Kluge Interactive as he discusses the design and development of Spin Mode in the VR rhythm game Synth Riders. As a procedural transformation compatible with any game map, Spin Mode would need to work with all game content, official and custom, past, present and future; and the potential volatility of any post-release changes meant that it needed to be done correctly the very first time. Learn how the team overcame the challenges of designing, developing, and testing a feature that would produce thousands of iterations on the existing official game library alone with no room for error.

Creating 3D content has traditionally been very difficult, but thanks to VR and machine learning, this process has become MUCH easier and quicker. In this talk, we’ll be discussing why VR and ML is better, what VR tools are available, and how to use them to create production 3D assets for games, animation and education.

The Web is going 3D at a lighting pace, and we are running short on talent in the space. This talk should help answer questions on the basics of where to start in the 3D revolution. Heavy focus on the tips and tricks I use to help things run smoothly, even on mobile.
