Create a 3D short film in virtual reality with Oculus Quill, from characters to professional rendering.

Guided course

Explore the fascinating world of virtual reality design and modeling by creating an immersive 3D short film with Quill. Learn how to set up your VR headset and familiarize yourself with the Quill tool, where you'll discover how to use Transform, Layers, Brushes, and the Clone tool to bring your ideas to life. Develop characters from scratch, modeling from the head to the full body, applying textures, and positioning them within the scene.

Immerse yourself in designing a visually compelling environment, enriched with details that complement your short film's narrative. Move on to the final composition of the scene, integrating characters and environment seamlessly. Finally, export and bring your project to OctaneRender, where you can apply materials and lighting, achieving a professional finish. Upon completion, you'll have a VR scene ready for your professional presentation.

Federico Moreno is passionate about the freedom that animation gives him to bring his imagination to life and give shape to a story, compared to other audiovisual fields. With over twenty years of professional experience, he admits today that most of what he has learned was self-taught, after endless hours of practice, tutorials, and videos.

He has directed Mcfly Studio since 2005, a studio specialized in animation and audiovisual production, where his two sides of expertise meet: the artist and producer. In 2012, he founded the animation magazine Moushon!, a project that he led for two years, and Luty Art Studio alongside Nelson Luty, an art department dedicated to conceptual art for the film industry, animation, and video games.
