VR has quite a bit to offer creative types in terms of building worlds and images that would be impossible otherwise. Oculus Story Studio is looking to redefine the concept of a digital art with their latest effort, Quill.
Oculus announced today that it will be releasing a beta of the application for free on December 6 in time for the launch of the Touch motion controllers. The input devices, which will cost $199, allow Oculus Rift users to have their hands tracked in VR experiences, something that’s pretty essential for artistic creation in VR.
Oculus Quill, which I was able to play around with a bit at Oculus’ Connect developer conference last month, was built as a custom tool for Art Director Wesley Allsbrook to shape the visual style for the Oculus Story Studio original film Dear Angelica. Much of the product was actually built during a hackathon last year by the lead engineer on the project. The product has seen a few changes since TechCrunch took a look at it earlier this year.
Take a look at the hauntingly cool artistic style of the yet-to-be-released short film Dear Angelica below.
