Having two cameras does not break anything, it's the best way to control what each eye sees/behaves from what i'm aware of, generally my Unity VR player pawn would follow a structure like this:I'm not sure that covers what I want... let me explain in a bit more detail.
I want a completely normal VR setup, except for being able to override a few very specific things. Meaning I want to respect the IPD settings from the HMD, head tracking and positional tracking, etc. Me creating and placing 2 cameras on my own would seemingly go against this.
My main goal isn't to cull differently on each camera/eye.
The difference between what I want and a standard VR setup is that I want to be able to control each camera's transform individually (specifically rotation, position overriding isn't needed in my case).
Essentially, like a chameleon which can look at 2 different places at the same time, 1 place with each eye. Except for the look-at point (or rotation, in my case), which would be non-standard, everything else would follow the normal VR/HMD setup.
As far as I've understood, I can grab the HMD camera nodes in Unity, and potentially tweak them as I want. But since I don't have HMD active, the VR camera mode defaults to None, which makes it impossible for me to test/simulate what I'm trying to do. At least having 2 instances of the Game view active, with each instance set to different eyes lead to identical output, see attached picture. Were it correct, I would expect to see the default offset her and slightly different angles.

Hmm.. I think I either need to get a meatier laptop or use my desktop. Hmm... Would prefer to have it more mobile so I can work on the go.
Hm, I guess I'll just have to test it and see. I don't understand how this would work correctly/synchronize with the data from the HMD, but it might just be a part of the behind-the-scenes magic that Unity does on its own. I'll at least set it up similar to what you've suggested -- even if I need to change things later on it will give me something to test with for now. Thanks for the input :)
Sometimes making games gives you some interesting visuals :P
Whenever you play a third person game, that guy is running after the protagonist.

Feel free to send any and all feedback directly to me. We also have a few title screen entered modifier codes that change various things about how the game is played, PM me if you are interested in them.
Don't feel like playing?
You are in luck, you can find videos of people trying out the demo on youtube and twitch. Just search for Carpathian Night on whichever platform you prefer.
yeah this is a different issue. What I want to do is to basically translate a height map into a tile map. I'm actually planning to hand craft the map for the actual game but I want a procedural, random system to assist with developing and testing the tile engine/tech, tile set assets and various decoration systems. Marching squares work fine with only the cardinal directions and corners but I'm a bit lost on how to do diagonals and cliffs that are taller than one tile unit in height. I'm sure I can figure it out without too much trouble but was hoping that maybe someone had already done the work for me :)
So something like a tile rule set? I thought about that especially for painting(for manual map making) tiles when I get to that but it still seems to me that I would have to do a lot matching neighbors to patterns which is a pain. But I guess if I think of the height data as a series of long strokes it might seem less annoying to deal with :)

Hey!
I am doing a massive pixel-art Post-Mortem @Polycount about the Detective Case and Clown Bot games -> https://bit.ly/2NJQVbU
Already finished the post on the first game, going to the second. Here are some images of some time-lapses I put together to show how the sets were built.
More stuff on character design, animation and many other things. Enjoy!
Cool. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it.

Thanks for this. This helps me get goin on a few things easily that I wanted to test and tweak and experiment with. I dont actually have a project though. I've...had to postpone the one thats ate up like 3 years for me for awhile. To pay bills I took an industrial career since animation wasn't paying shit. Now that industrial career has gotten seriously hectic for nearly a year and a half so all my spare time has had to go into trying to stay sane with only small light stuff like mod a stick or do a bit of work here and there on an arcade cabinet that ended up taking over a year when it coulda took a simple week.
Yeah, definitely a wise idea if you're thinking about putting a project with a lot of hours in it.
