Struggling with the day by day pressure and deadlines sometimes can be a bit stressful.

Recently I found a more fun alternative to create our environment. Being immersed inside Virtual Reality can change the perception of work with fun. Oculus recently launched Oculus

Medium. VR is a revolution in 3D asset creation and Oculus Medium is the premiere VR creative tool. Sculpt, model, and paint in an immersive environment. Whether you're a total beginner, aspiring creative, or professional artist, quickly and easily create characters, environments, and expressive works of art. With this tool, we can create our 3D meshes, and then we'll import them in a blender just for texturizing. Hours and hours of modeling and sculpting inside a 2D environment can be transformed into fun in a VR environment.

Another powerful tool that can replace the animation process is Ollie. Ollie is a VR animation tool designed for beginners in 3D animation. Ollie introduces key concepts in animation to new animators in a highly visual way, making the animation process feel playful, approachable, and encouraging. Ollie is the best way for beginners to start animating in 3D.

The third and last one is Tilt Brush. Inside this program, we can create our 360 storyboards and we can paint our 2D elements. This is a strong tool that will help us create the background elements such as mountains, sky, and forest.

With this software, we can transform our work into something fun to do. We can be more creative and free to move inside VR than we usually been in conventional 2D software. Creativity is a fun experience, not a constant boring job.

These are powerful tools but are they that powerful to replace the traditional way of working in 2D to create 3D?
