A short note that the Museum of Other Realities is a place to showcase art by artists who have engaged with the medium of VR. We prize works made for VR and we prize artists who have spent the time to understand the medium.

MODELS

We currently accept models in .fbx or .obj format.

We have some rough performance guidelines for models in the MOR:

• For a piece to be shown in the museum amongst other works we need it to be under 700k vertices
• For a piece shown inside a portal (a dedicated “other dimensional” room) the budget is 2.5 million vertices. We won’t put a work in a portal unless it is a complete immersive environment.

Note that the fewer vertices a work contains the more centrally it can be shown. Expensive works have to be hidden around corners so they are always seen alone. Works with fewer vertices can be displayed in a more open setting where it can be seen from more areas of the museum.

We can work with you to reduce the vertex count of your work, we’ve had plenty of experience slimming down large pieces.

The MOR runs in Linear colour space.

EXPORTS

We support direct file exports from any of your favourite VR authoring programs.

• Tilt Brush plays very well with the museum, all your particles, colours, textures etc.. will make it over
• Quill illustrations are no problem. Quill animations are a challenge for us because they are often simply the entire scene duplicated for every frame. This overloads our available memory very quickly. We can show Quill animations that are 100meg or lower.
• Medium
• Masterpiece
• AnimVR
• Anything else you can get an .fbx or .obj out of!

If the art is coming from a VR art tool we would like to have an export as well as the original file so we can re-export in case of future changes to the technology.
