Hello D5 friends. Before I write anything else, I want to say that I recently discovered D5 and have to say I love it, it is an amazing software, and I am looking forward for using it in the future!
Now, the problem:
Does somebody notice that scaling in VR Beta seems to be off?
When walking in VR using Meta Quest 3, all the scenes and models look like they are rendered in 90% or 80% size. Doors that are 2m in height seem to be 1,8m tall. People that are 1,8tall seem to be 1,6m tall when standing next to them. Simulating “sitting” at a desk feels like you are almost sitting on the ground.
I have tried to model my real room using sketchup dotn to a 1mm precision, then entered it in D5 using VR. So I was able to go from a “real” room, with fresh perception of “how big” the room feels in real life, straight into D5, and it immediately felt as if it is all “smaller”. Not by much, but definitely 10% or 20% smaller than it should be.
For example standing next to my real desk that is 5cm above my knee, renders as if it was 3cm below my knee in D5.
Why I think it is important to fix:
I mean, for hobby and “fun” use this difference is probably not significant, however…
As an interior designer, my plan is, or should I say was, to use D5 + Meta Quest 3 to let my clients “walk” their interiors in D5 using the VR headset to be able to “feel” the size of the space, furniture and rooms. Unfortunately, when the scaling is off, it creates a false perception of the space, because all the furniture and the room itself feels “off” as everything appears to be smaller, so the perception of the size ist not correct. The effect can be seen with all the D5 standard object. It is most noticable when standing next to desks or cars that you can compare to real life to feel it is a bit “off”.
Did anyone else notice this? I think this is such a shame for professional use as it is a relatively tiny detail, that has pretty big impact for interior design purpose.
It would be amazing if the VR render window had some kind of “zoom” function to be able to correct for this…or…if this can be “fixed” to be just “right size” instead of “a bit smaller size”.
