Great video for extreme beginners, which is great because we need fresh blood in the cryptic vr dev space. For beginners watching: don't forget to disassemble these starter projects and follow the logic. Recreating the VR template from scratch is an incredibly useful exercise, and you dont need a tutorial to walk you through it, everything is there on the VR template for you to see. I remade the grab component maybe 4 or 5 times over the course of a few months when I was starting out. Dont get stuck on it, always keep pushing yourself to more challenging things, but if youre new and starting out, consider opening up a blank project side by side with the VR template, and see if you cant figure out how to recreate the functionality!

Hello, I hope you are doing well, the methods of connection with the cable are also possible with the meta oculus quest 1? Warm regards

@MarioStaats December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Wow - Thank you for that Tutorial, looked some before but your one is simply working. *ThumbsUp

@watkinscreatives December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

I just wish the virtual desktop app wasn't $25

@AlNagaina December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Hi! If anyone can help me with a problem, I'd be grateful. So, I've connected my meta quest 3 and UE5 kind of sees it and when I simulate my level - it is shown on the computer as it should like in headset, but the headset view is just blank. When I've tried to set my head set to show me my desktop progs, UE5 to be exact - it also just went blank... quest link and level settings are as they should be...

@echelon2k8 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Okay, but how do you actually package this to the Quest 3 standalone, and do we always have to fire it up there in unknown sources or can we make it show up with all our purchased games?

@Lluc3D December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Excelent tutorial looking for more 🤩

@LenYiFanboy December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Wanna make a VR story game.. havent done a game in UE5 yet.. Vr might make it easier..so.. wish me luck? Maybe? Please?

@qooduffy3573 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Great start. I am new for unreal VR. Could I have traditional tutorial about putting my blender scene to unreal VR template? I found it is hard. Thx

@stephenrose1902 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Got to 3 bar hamburger menu and vr preview whited out.

@CompositingAcademy December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

do you know where a good place is to start for standalone VR apps with Unreal? I'm assuming nanite / lumen isn't a workflow that's common for standalone vr apps with lighting

@michaelb1099 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

will this work in unreal 5.5

@thelibrarian3734 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Brilliant introduction thank you, I like your teaching style too compared to other videos, look forward to more 😎

@Tommyboi7566 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Cool vid! Do you think you can make a tutorial on making weapons/Guns have weight?

@RaiderNic99 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Even since I was little and started playing video games I've always toyed with the idea of making a game. Maybe not for anyone but myself, just to see if I could do it, but recently I've thought more about doing it seriously. I've honestly been spurred on by the lack of good VR games. I absolutely love VR and the list of great to even mediocre games is just too small in my opinion. When playing all sorts of VR games I constantly find myself wondering why things weren't done a certain way instead of how the developers did them. Or I constantly think "Oh I would have done this differently if I was a developer" and while I don't even know how to be a developer I feel like if I could be one, I could make a fun VR game. So I think I might use your videos, a long with other more general UE videos to finally start giving this a shot. I want to make a VR game that I and my friends would want to play.

@robheppellvideooffice December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Excellent video! If you'd be up for making a guide for how to make screen interaction for a computer terminal work in VR when you get chance, that would be amazing!

@bossonfire5110 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Thanks for this!

@ZestSketchpad December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

im into arcviz and i wanna bulding something for that but using Google cardboard can you help me with that by giving some guidance please

@jklappenbach December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Perhaps you could help me out by answering a few questions.

First, I'm trying to develop a game for Quest3 on UE5. I'm not interested in PCVR, at least not now. I want to build APKs for quest3 and have the app run on the Quest3.

Hand Tracking

The only examples I've seen that show how to setup projects for passthrough or hand tracking use the MetaXR plugin, not the OpenXR plugin. If you've ever seen the settings for the MetaXR plugin, there's tons of options for hand tracking and pass through. OpenXR? Not so much.

Have you gotten hand tracking to work with OpenXR? It's a must have for me.

Skybox Setup for APKs

PCVR supports the volumetric clouds, all the goodness of the Sky Atmosphere effects. The default VR game project comes with all the sky elements setup.

But these just won't render on the Quest3. How do we need to set up a skybox so that it will render on the Quest3?

This would be a great how to, as there's not a ton of content geared to using UE5 to create actual Q3 apps. It's largely setup for PCVR. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

@pitmonk December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Im looking forward to this, thank you.

@CampingWkids December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Hi, i'm doing a research about VR Game and so new in Unreal Engine. May i know, did i need to click any target platforms before launch engine ? for create VR Game. Tq for your respon =)

@cpuwolf December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

the Greatest video for a beginner like me, Although I have dipped my feet for a few days in UE5 VR, the explaination of the content Drawer is definitely the highlight

@pterafier December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

I've been making games in Unreal for 3 years but never touched VR. I'm hoping everything I've learned translates well, I didn't realize how robust the VR template is. Super nice starting point, I look forward to dissecting it more

@jamaglaqui3912 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

I'm new to VR dev. and this video was a great start :D Thank you so much bro, definitely subscribing

@rookieblue3294 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

hey another vr dev in michigan! :D
Just picked up a quest 3 and im a developer as my full time job, just getting started with vr game development myself. This is a great starting point for me. I appreciate it man!

@cgiink December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Subscribed, very well explained. Following. Thank you and keep rolling out more UE VR content. Thank you.

@xurock9432 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Great vedio! Suffering in unity now, seems unreal is much reasonable when you want to create some function than unity.

@rere137 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Thanks. Followed exact same steps (just got my quest 3), something seems to be missing

@cheesepantsgaming1964 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Do you have a video where you build an apk from UE5 to meta submission? I'm just looking for UE5 to meta submission tutorial.

@thabomthembu6281 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

I've been interested in VR development for some time now, especially with the increasing popularity of VR games. This is good for some like me and I'll keep checking your new tutorials

@gabrielestrada6165 December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

great tutorial! I'm really new to VR in ue and the one thing I noticed the most is that lights straight out from the vr template are really looking bad, at least in my experience. I tried to add a glossy tunnel in a level and the lights are really not realistic at all. Would love some tutorials on how to improve this aspect of vr games!

@manonthedollar December 14, 2024 - 7:12 am

Imma be watching this channel! I've been playing with UE + VR since Unreal 4 but I still have so much to learn. I would especially love a video about methods for "iterative" development -- like easy ways to quickly test a user interaction and tweak values until you like them. I find it very cumbersome to do this by switching in and out of VR all the time, with all the instability/crashes/disconnections that come with that lol
