Fruit “Pollinator”
‘Fruit Pollinator’ is a creation by Penny Arcade’s Mike Krahulik. If you’re a fan of the the webcomic, you might recognize that little guy as the fruit-loving ‘Fruit F*cker 2000’.
In the Mouth of Madness
Lee Petty from Double Fine Productions remarked after the competition that he had “lost about 15 minutes in [his] brain,” from the level of immersion he experienced.
Parakeets
Tristan Reidford from Valve said “it’s very active. I guess it’s a lot like how old-school sculpture would be—running around looking at all different sides. It’s like a fun challenge…”
Cyberpunk Robot
Michael Shilliday from Whiterend Creative maintains that working with CAD software is “almost all hand, wrist and shoulder movement—[Tilt Brush on HTC Vive] takes your entire body, as well as your surrounding awareness.”
Psychedelic Totoro
Chandana Ekanayake, game director of Uber Entertainment’s upcoming VR title Wayward Sky, maintains that Tilt Brush is “one of the best things that [he] like[s] to show off to people that never tried VR,” and describes it “more like sculpting in space than painting.”
Space Dragon
Sarah Northway from Northway Games likes that Tilt Brush “it’s not just about the picture itself, it’s like the whole process of drawing it feels like a bit of a dance.”
Don’t forget to vote for your favorite, or you know, you can just buy a GTX 980 Ti for $649.99.
