Using the MetaQuest 3 AR/VR headset to transfer digitally prepped art to an analog substrate.
In this video, I am demonstrating how I use virtual reality/augmented reality to translate my 3D model that I've created onto an analog substrate such as paper or a canvas. This smaller canvas is going to be my color study for a larger 48"x36" oil painting. I am using the Meta Quest 3, using the StencilVR app. which you can find here: https://www.stencilvr.com/ I work on orientating my digital composition onto the canvas by using the controls within StencilVR and then I rough in the drawing with an HB or B pencil. It gets a little messy, but my goal isn't to be 100% clean but rather block in the shapes of my composition. I will work on refining the drawing and getting the lines cleaner. Then after I do this with my AR/VR headset, I will fix the pencil on the canvas with a fixative so it will not smear. The subject is to be the DC-8 flown by Samaritan's Purse.
