Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has had any success with fixing the "jerky" or "shaky" motion while using VR in X10? I've been following the forums and I saw it was suggested to Aaron that the sensors be moved around but have not found any other fixes for it. Here's my experience with it: It's quite an investment if you don't already own a desktop with the right specs to run VR, HTC Vive more specifically, and the shaky experience is a bit disappointing, but I'll say that even with that our client's are all impressed with it. Some feedback we've gotten is that the model is out of proportion (ie. they're too high on the model or "it doesn't seem right) but I think it's due mostly because it's the first time they're trying VR and not used to the technology. It would be nice if we did have some control of the camera settings like Field of View but when running VR, it ignores all settings and it's doing it's own thing, which I'm totally fine with but the models seem they're ever so slightly not right. It would be nice like NTHS14 said above if we could move around the plan with the controllers but currently that's not an option. So we rely on setting up or moving a Floor Camera for different views, and you're limited to the walking boundaries of your physical space. Getting back to the shaky motion of the models what I've noticed is that using electrical to create light sources in the model is what made it shaky for us. I started a new file, 4 simple walls, kitchen cabinets, appliances, fixtures, a french door and some tall windows to allow sunlight through. Using the Standard view of the Floor Camera with no electrical, shadows on, sunlight through windows it worked like a charm! Very smooth walking around. Turned on Physically Based and also worked perfect. Added 4 recessed lights and Physically Based and it still worked smooth. As soon as I added a 5th recessed light, it gets really choppy. Another thing we know for sure it's that it's not a hardware issue, running a quad-core i7 with 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1070 with our full models doesn't stress the PC. So, do we know of a fix for the shaky motion or something else you might have figured out that helps out with that? Thanks, Glenn Travis
