Inside "Vader Immortal"
summary
Vader Immortal Episode I is a cinematic VR experience built for Oculus Quest and Rift using Unreal Engine, aiming for hitch-free, photo‑real visuals that actually behave in real time. Development uses Unreal Sequencer for compositing, a customized particle LOD system to target Quest, and Cascade seeded operations for deterministic sims. The project contains over 400 particle effects, a Mustafar arrival with 60+ scene elements, a Quill sequence of live painted brushstrokes, and a final segment with six minutes of mocap and cloth sims, all delivered successfully.
