It is time to bring VRMV out of Early Access. My original goal was to create a program that would allow users to import a 3D model and view it in VR. I feel that I am at a point where this goal has been achieved.
I started the development of VRMV with no prior experience in 3D game development or modelling, and looking back I think this was a very ambitious project for my first application. Like most novice developers, I have learned a lot from my first release, and I want to thank all the people who downloaded VRMV and provided feedback.
As for what the future holds, I want to develop an actual 2D game. VR development has been an amazing experience but the time constraints I have now preclude any further serious development on VR applications. I will be sticking around, if you have any major issues or changes requests, please feel free to send me an email at [email protected].
Thank you all for supporting us indie developers! Without people willing to invest in early access programs a lot of us wouldn't be around. Take care of yourselves, and good luck with whatever path lies before you.

Changed Auto Scale to Scale To Player. Makes model same size as player regardless of scale settings on saved model
Disabled selection ring on model import spawn point object
Disabled layout autosave function in lobby scene
Fixed re-import function sending model to origin not current loaded position
There is still an issue with multi-threaded model importing where if it fails while importing (e.g. if the file has invalid contents or assimp reports importing error back to thread pool controller) then the async importing sequence will get stuck. Still working on a fix.
Fixed smooth turning not working properly I will be adding a slider for smooth turning speed in next update and also a comfort vignette for smooth turning/flight.

Disable Auto Scale detect by default
When loading layout, reset all scale flags between each model load (scale up/down and auto scale detect)
Fixed model loading synchronous mode instead of async by default
The model loader fell back to synchronous loading by default, I have changed it back to async mode (again). Sorry for this! I have also turned off auto scale detection, I don;t think this is working quite so well. I am going to change it to something like "scale to player". I will find the longest dimension of the model out of x, y, z axes and set that to the player height and scale the rest of the model accordingly. So big, small, whatever it will be about the same size as the player.
Also I need to save the model import as data to the layout file (box collider, mesh collider, terrain) so it can be recalled when next loading the layout file. Currently this is not happening but next update will fix this.
Also there are a couple of other monior bugs that will get fixed:
- In Outpost scene it is possible to walk over the gap in the first floor without falling back down to ground floor
- In sci fi scene placeable selection ring floats too high off the ground
- When selecting to re-import a model, it goes to scene origin not last position
- Still an issue when importing multiple models as part of a layout and if there is an error on one of them the worker thread can get stuck and not exit properly, should be fixed soon.
Fixed text that displays Info/Warning/Error messages on wand Fixed issue where model import thread would not exit properly if model file failed to import Fixed bug with application version text not showing in Rotunda scene selection screen Added button to dismiss import error sig

Check scene file for multiple references to same model and create clone instead of re-importing
Moved measure tools cancel button to menu button instead of grip to avoid erroneous cancellation on Index
Note with this update I have changed the way the wands detect if you are touchingsomething. Please let me know if you experience any problems at [email protected].
I am still working on the best way to manage material settings once the model has been loaded. I will have something in place in the next update. Thanks!
Identified an issue with assimp model loader performing data structure validation and failing import if problem detected. This patch disables that feature and a future update will expose advanced import settings to the user.

Finally, it has arrived! After spending much longer than I anticipated reworking the original code to support the new SteamVR interaction system, I finally have any update for everyone to play with. As always, if you experience any problems please feel free to contact me at mindr

NOTE: A game-breaking change was made to the layout loading system. Please refer to the readme.txt file located at \Documents\VR Model Viewer after installing the update if you have legacy (prior to V2) layout files that you wish to retain.
Known Issues:
- Button hint positioning is still WIP, can be disabled from the User Settings menu
- WMR throwing runtime errors in log, working on it. Seems to be related to SteamVR skeleton pose updates
- Joystick deadzone setting not saved to user prefs
- Right wand sometimes stays transparent after showing hint
- Skybox not saving with layout file properly if changed from default for orbiting platform scene
Next update will have some more scenes, async model loading, UI enhancements, scene portals, ability to access already loaded models during session, importing of images, list of loaded models in scene, and many more features!

Work is continuing on upgrading the input system to the new Steam VR 2.0 scheme, but it is slow going. Everything has to be reworked. In the mean time, I added the ability to have the Index headset start up as a Vive and you can use the Vive wands with Index headset if you have them. Knuckles support is still in progress. Sorry for the delay!
