Art Experiments
Collection of my favorite projects during a 10 year journey in VR art & animation. Sometimes rendered in Blender or made interactive in Unity.
You can view most of these projects in VR at my Oculus Creator Portfolio.
Here’s a list of my favorite Quill pieces and why.
Alex's Sci-Fi World
Download the Quill project file here. Keep in mind this 2018 file is very messy.
Check out Alex’s work at alexstevenmartin.com and his Instagram.
Phase 4 (sound on!) of the #alexsscifiworld #vranimation - This update is a complete animation and audio overhaul using Quill 2.0's new timeline workflows. I'm now able to add absurd amounts of personality to the characters. It's night and day difference from previous phases.
Alex’s Sci-Fi World can now be viewed as x10 vignettes on the Oculus TV for Quest.
Behind-the-scenes details: Tech@facebook blog and the Oculus blog.

I decided to go systematic with this year's Inktober. This approach made drawing super efficient since every sketch fits into a cube grid and is architecture-related. This also allows me to assemble the kit into different city configurations. As I laid the city out I started noticing various affinities.
"Husky Helpings" Quill's new real-time puppeteering and keyframe workflows are a beautiful thing! Prob the most fun I've had in the Quill Weekly Challenges s...
Slowly chiseling away at another big #vranimation scene in #oculusquill. Will be applying all my learnings from #alexsscifiworld. This time I'm going to work on character movement and micro-stories by animating my gross drawings. I'll keep adding to this scene over time until it eventually breaks Quill.
