Verto Studio VR

Page contributed by Beatrice Hoang

Description

Verto Studio VR is a 3D modeling scene editor that runs entirely in VR. In addition to being able to generate simple mesh types such as planes, spheres, and toruses, you can import custom FBX, OBJ, DAE meshes into your scene and edit them with texturing and polygon tools, among others. Verto Studio VR is a standalone extension of the desktop application Verto Studio 3D.

Used concurrently with the desktop version, Verto Studio VR offeres two-user collaboration between a desktop user and a VR user. Taking turns, one user can edit a scene while the other observes.

With the latest version 2.5, Verto Studio can now be used as a programming environment for 3D scripts with VertoJS. Custom scripts can be applied to all Verto's applications, including VR. More information here.
