I've been building and rigging the eye, arm and hand poses over the last week.

Trying to work with the animation system is still a bit unwieldy because I'm so used to Maya/Blender animation workflow, but I'm getting a bit better at understanding it.

I've also discovered that all my frustrations with Dreams VR come from the bugs with using Dreams on the PS5 and the camera adaptor, it's rock solid on PS4.

worked on rigging up the eyes today, nothing fancy, and added a side expression to enhance the 'look to the side' pose at the start.

The animation at the moment is purely to test the rig as I'm slowly adding to it. I can see I need some more arm poses to give them a little more flexibility.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to move between keyframes with the move controllers while editing keys, a simple thing on the standard controller....

Today I spend a lot of time going back and forth learning more about keyframes and discovering some ‘gotchas’ that started causing major glitches in my model, fortunately was able to fix a lot of things but I’m finding it hard to keep track of complex animation in the timeline.

So after to-ing and fro-ing over whether to rebuild my pirate character in Blender because of the animation keyframe issues I was having...I've decided to stick to Dreams because the DreamsVR creation experience just can't be beaten!

Submitted a support ticked to
Media Molecule regarding edit mode animation key transitions vs play mode transitions.

Play mode introduces a one frame transition between held keys, which messes up instant changes, edit mode doesn't.

Spent an evening trying out different animation workflows in Dreams. Seems like having a microchip with a bunch of labeled/coloured keyframes I can pull into a timeline is the simplest/fastest option.

VR painting in 'Dreams' is really satisfying!

Here's a little video I've cut together of this morning's VR painting session.
