About us
We're here to talk about, program, share, and demonstrate software, hardware, and ideas for the upcoming new wave of virtual reality. Whether you're an avatar who spends more time in virtual worlds than the real one or someone who's never even worn a head mounted display, you'll find a great group of people who love VR. Each month we bring in presenters from companies who are pioneering VR technology and also feature an array of demonstrations created by our local VR developers. They can help you embark comfortably on your first VR experience or dive deep into VR design and discuss the latest news from the fast changing world of VR. We are a government certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which means that all ticket fees and donations are dedicated to putting on more VR events in Boston and that all donations are tax deductible.

Description:
This event is run though the Boston Virtual Reality Meetup Group.
Let's create snowy mountains! At the June meetup, John Gagan will demonstrate how to create a mountain range in Blender. The mountains will be created using the free A.N.T.Landscape addon. The snow texture will then be added using nodes and by mapping an image of rocks onto the mountain. The image of the rocks will be available for download. Also, in order to participate in the demo you must download the free A.N.T.Landscape addon and install it in Blender. We will discuss how to install the addon at the beginning of the demo. Download the addon here:
