Hi Francisco
Thanks for the input.
I agree that gear and oculus is way better than cardboard, but I've seen
a few nice smooth things on cardboard too.
I'm not so much interested in creating high poly sets with all the
lighting effects in the world. Mostly just static environments to
explore as part of a story.
I know I can get all of this done in unity, but I _want_ to do it in unreal.
I've written enough bloody scripts last year in maya to last me a lifetime.
Also the houdini to unreal plugin means I get to learn two new software
pieces I enjoy.
I've been trying most of the things in the link you sent over the last
few days, but I run into all the problems described in there without any
of the solutions working for me.
The vr template also didn't give me a split screen, or the lens
distortion, or the tracking I was hoping for.
Ah the pain and joy of new software :)

By the way,
there is a VR Template for Unreal we use in our projects, have you
checked if it works for cardboard?
Also there is this on the ue forum that may help:

its seems to be a workaround from Noculus solution.
Hope it helps.

Hi Gerbrand,
in my experience, if wou want to make vr content for mobile i
would recommend you samsung gear vr rather than cardboard.
We been testing on mobile users and must say cardboard isn´t a
pretty chance to VR due to lag, comfort, and latency depending on
mobile model.Samusng gear vr is is definitely more expensive but
has a growing market, and a nice store for apps.
In terms of software, you said it, Unity reminds me of Maya or
Max, where you can do 3d, and Unreal reminds me softimage where
you enjoy doing 3d...
Hope it helps!

Yeah Oculus in unreal is easy.. The problem with the google
cardboard is getting the head motion to drive the camera, and
creating a proper split screen.
I really hope they release a template for cardboard in unreal
soon.
Us dumb-folk loves them templates :)

Hey guys.. this is way of topic, but I ask here because
the smart kids hang out on this side of the internet ;P
I'm very keen to create vr stories, but for Joe Everybody.
The oculus is great, but it has a very small audience at
the moment.
Google cardboard on the other hand is accessible to
anyone with a smartish phone.
Now I got a simple thing going with unity, and it works
great.
Problem is; unity reminds me of maya, and maya leads to
anger and anger leads to... oh you get the picture.
Unreal on the other hand feel friendly, like a ICE tree,
made of friendly things.
Until you try and do a google cardboard project that is.
Has anyone here done unreal work for google cardboard?
Care to share some knowledge?
Thanks guys
