Blocks by Google lets you create and design 3D objects by means of virtual reality
3D design and modeling are usually associated with professional creation and design environments. However, there's no need to be a design expert to unleash your creativity in this field. Mainly because we can make use of Google Blocks, an application that allows us to create and handle objects created with geometrical shapes with the help of virtual reality systems.
3D creation and modeling with augmented reality for everyone
Just like Microsoft has done with Creators Update, Google intends to bring 3D creation to all its users. Knowing that the main issue for inexperienced users is starting off from scratch, this tool offers us all the basics to set out in the world of design. For such purpose, it offers us a series of tools that offer us shapes and colors with which we can manage to develop all sorts of complex objects and huge scenarios, without requiring too much knowledge.
It offers us the possibility to create stunning designs.
These are the six tools included in the software:
- Shape.
- Stroke.
- Paint.
- Modify.
- Grab.
- Erase.
This software has been designed for the virtual reality kits, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, therefore, if you've got a headset made by a different brand, you won't be able to use it yet. It makes the most augmented reality so that the designs created blend into the user's environment.
Managing the tools is carried out by means of gestures and mastering this process requires plenty of effort as the only limit can be found in our imagination.
Requirements and additional information:
- Compatible with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
- Minimum operating system requirements: Windows 7 SP1.
