I made my first digital creations when I was about ten years old (read: the early 1990s). One artwork I remember was a scene from Star Wars. I made it in Autodesk Animator on my dad’s Apple Macintosh Performa 630—a rare PC-compatible Mac that also ran MS-DOS.
Unfortunately I don’t have the actual artwork anymore (old floppy disks apparently become unreadable after decades) because it would be considered 8-bit pixel art today. But I remember it vividly.
So I had to redo it as one of my first Tilt Brush drawings. Here’s a video I captured in VR with the nice tool that’s built into Tilt Brush. It attaches a viewfinder onto one of the controllers, which then becomes a virtual camera.
I also used this example to illustrate my blog bost How Seeing VR as a Creation Tool changed my Perspective.
