Did anyone else feel kinda nervous exploring this house? Like any minute one of the characters will come in and beat the shit out of you for intruding? I guess you can imagine you have the great honor of housesitting for the Tendos while they're on one of their vacations.
This is real cool. One of the first ideas that popped into my mind when I got into Ranma ½ was that it could be fun to have something like a game of it. Unfortunately I am not, at the moment, particularly crafty in regards to stuff like developing games. But this is kind of a dream come true. Of course from what I have seen (and at the moment I am writing this comment I have only watched this video) this is not meant to be something "playable" in the sense we commonly understand, but it is still really amazing that a very specific wish I had is becoming realized (at least in part).
I still love to pull this up and wander the house. I hope this isn't a dead project. But even if it is, thanks for sharing your work with us. Such a feeling of nostalgia.
I'm glad you like it! I actually just finished Nabiki and Kasumi's rooms, and am about 75% done with Ukyo's restaurant and apartment. I also reworked the fireworks so they are both way better for performance, and look nicer. There are tons of tiny tweeks around the house as well that probably no one will notice, but just lots of little fixes for lighting and reflection bugs, and performance improvements. I started working on the school a bit too, but that's going to be a pretty big undertaking. I'm hoping to get a new video and build out in the next week or so, but we'll see how it goes. Soon though. I was unable to work on the project for a long time (which I'll explain in the video), but I'm working on it once again, so stay tuned!
@@fictonia6955 This is by far one of the most impressive pieces of fan art I've ever seen. The love and attention to detail is incredible. I'm glad to hear that this project is still ongoing. I was really into the series in the ages ago. Your videos rekindled that interest.
Ah man this is so cool. It would be amazing to have all the characters running around doing their daily activities in here too. Minus Ranma... Player character should be Ranma.
I believe the two devices under the TV are a VCR and Laserdisc Player. You can see them clearly in the Japanese only Hot Springs Song Contest 2 Part OVA. There is also a copy of the reference sheet for the dojo in both ranma.fandom.com/wiki/Movie_%2B_OVA_Ranma_%C2%BD and in a rare artbook. Scans of which are online on old blogs, just google them.
@@fictonia6955 1.15 rails of shoji. In your reconstruction entire door is moving inside the rails. As long as i know all the shoji doors have a horns on the up and bottom ends of stiles. These horns thickeness is about 2\3 of door's. you can see first episode of the original series 4.33.
Loving it! The visuals seem much brighter/washed out compared to the first video. Is that a result of the rendering changes, or am I just over thinking it? it _does_ help the night mode to be much clearer compared to the first video. Love the fireflies.
The outside became much brighter from switching over to the forward renderer, you are correct. I toned it back a bit, but decided that having it be a bit brighter/washed out sells the idea that you are in direct sunlight a bit better. Getting the sun to look convincing in VR is really challenging, since the screen on a headset cannot go anywhere near that bright (which is probably a good thing, heh). So you end up looking at the effect that direct sun has on the real world and trying to copy those effects in VR as best you can. It's why so many VR games take place in doors, or on cloudy days. But I really wanted to get the bright happy feeling that I associate with the Tendo family home, so having it be bright and sunny was worth the trade offs. I'm looking forward to adding a rainy day version as well, but doing so means adding another lighting scenario, which will take the light building time up to approximately 7 hours. ugh.
It is all in a dream, it is beautiful !!!! have you thought about the HIGURASHI Temple ?! or the shampoo restaurant! ??? please excuse me my bad english from google translator
hi thanks for the great work, when can we expect the final release? You changed it from unreal engine 4 to 5 and wanted to fix some things like the tree etc.
I tried playing this with my windows mixed reality motion controllers but my buttons and joysticks didn't work with this. I was able to move a little by walking IRL. I'm not sure how to fix it..
Hmm, I'll have to look into that. I only have the valve index, so I was not able to test this on a WMR set, I didn't realize it wouldn't work. I'll make sure to implement support for that in the next build. :)
I try to DL the vr it downloaded but I'm having hard time opening the vr with the app recommended. So I will just wait for another video you will post. 😂
You just need to extract the folder, and then run RanmaVR.exe, it should just start. There is nothing to install. Unless you are on an apple computer, that's a bit more complicated.
I don't remember the specific number or title off the top of my head, but it's the one where Nabiki starts pretending to date Ranma and keeps trying to sell him back to Akane.
I agree 100%, the area around the dojo is more of a quiet alley environment than a busy city one. I chose the audio I did because most of it is low key city noises, but I'm planning on replacing it soon with a totally different soundscape. I think it would be more accurate to have more things like bicycle sounds rather than cars. It would also be fun to periodically hear characters fighting on the other side of the wall, and then see dust clouds and a light pole get knocked down, that kind of thing. Just silly environment stuff.
I don't know about the 80's. But I walked through Nerima around 2014. There was pretty non descript city noise just like most places in Tokyo. If you get a few streets off the main drag it quiets down a bit. But traffic noise is pretty much omnipresent. But the question of going for realistic or an idealized anime version of the area is up to interpretation.
I don't have access to a Mac, so I'm afraid I can't help. I would imagine it might work with a Windows emulator for playing on the desktop with VR off, but I can't be sure. Sorry!
......no. I can definitely recommend Virtual Novel though, they are building an anime high school game for desktop and vr, which was infact the inspiration for me working on this project. Development has been paused for a few years, but I know the developers, and they are going to get back to working on it when they have saved up enough cash to focus on it. Even in it's current state it's lots of fun to explore and play with the character maker. www.patreon.com/VirtualNovel
@@fictonia6955 Thank you for taking your time to doing this and share it. I just download it and is so awesome!!!! I found this video because I wanted to make a 3d Model of the Tendo's Dojo using Blender, so far i have the basic shape of the building and some textures but now I have an extra challange because your model is so perfect!!!
Sweet, please send some progress screen shots/video my why, I would enjoy watching your progress! I'm particularly curious to see how you tackle the stairs/second floor. Mine is not accurate (the stairs do not turn in the show) but it was the only way I could get the inside floor plan to match up with the outside floor plan.

This is amazing, as a Ranma fan I appreciate this.
I was smiling like an idiot the entire video, it's so cool!
Me too
Very cool! Akane's room looks great! I also love how you included Mousse. Seeing his legs kick underwater is a cute detail too.
Can't wait for more!
This is looking great! I can't wait to see more.

Wow this is amazing! It’s so detailed and spot on! This is something every Ranma fan should see! (ps I’m your 100th sub!) 👏✨
Thank you very much! I'm actually working on my next update right now. I'm hoping to have it out in the next week or two.
I'm super impressed. It's beautiful and feels very accurate!

Great Job, you are amazing. Would accept this as my matrix, love it.
I'm so fan of Ranma and this is one of the best thing i ever have watch!!! ❤❤❤ great Job!!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing, I'm truly stunned! Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍😊
the door construction is not correct, but un general - it's GREAT! Hope one day built this house.
How so? What did I miss?

I love the bgm at 6:16! 💕 Strangely enough, I have the bgms for Ranma 1/2 but this is not in any of those 2 volumes 😔
The two pieces heard in Akane's room are from track 4 of the first musical dojo album.
@@JHelfrich yeah I tried searching before and I found out the title too 😊 sadly, I don’t have the musical dojo volumes 1 and 2
good job keep up your awesome work
woooooooo is amazing!!!!!

Thanks! And yes, I'm working on both of those.
hi thanks for the great work, when can we expect the final release? You changed it from unreal engine 4 to 5 and wanted to fix some things like the tree etc.
I don't think it will ever be truly "complete," but I'm hoping to have the next build out for everyone to try before too much longer.
You are amazing!

In the mean time, you can always run around in desktop mode by pressing [Enter] on your keyboard.

Got really curious with the branch, and in what episode was it?

Am I the only one, who thinks there is too much car noise going on? Did late 1980s Tokyo have so many cars? I can't remember seeing any in the show
