Inspiration
3D modeling is hard to learn and the software are not intuitive. In real life, building blocks solution are plenty and fun for everyone: Lego, KAPLA. We all loved them as kids and for some the love never ended. We want to provide an app to let everyone unleash their creativity in 3D.
What it does
It is a 3D modeling app based on simple colorful cubes. Snap them together, and cube by cube you will be able to build anything! The MR capabilities and the quest 3 allows the user to play / build directly on their table with our virtual blocks. They can take inspiration from their environment thanks to the passthrough. The app use hand tracking for a more intuitive experience. Colorful cubes with only snapping function - it is a tool for people to create and build, a place to expand imagination and to relax.
How we built it
The app was made in Unity. 3D assets and texture by Rhino, Blender, and Photoshop. It was made using the Meta quest 3 for testing.
Challenges we ran into
The app concept might be easy to grasp, but the implementation is way more complex. We had a hard time at first with the placement / snaping algorithm between the blocks. We needed more than we thought, face detection, orientation, grouping, collision checks, ...
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the fluency of the experience interaction, and the simplicity of the visual effect, so as the easy movements that allows everyone to build up 3D objects without difficult technical learning.
What we learned
We learned to collaborate, communicate constantly and to learn from each other.
What's next for Quarters
We hope this app can be used by more and more people, and there will be a lot more functions that can be added on in the future.
