What we’re about
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. At the April meetup, John Gagan will teach us how to create a landscape in Blender using the A.N.T. Landscape addon and the Sapling Tree Gen addon! Both addons are free and come with Blender. We will create an alien landscape complete with mountains, volcanoes, islands, canyons, rivers and exotic trees! After the demo, we will all work on Blender 3D projects together, share our work, and network.
John Gagan is a six-year veteran in Blender 3D, four of which he spent as the head of the Boston Blender Group.
For those participating who are new to the world of Blender please-
- Bring your laptops and preferably a '3 button mouse'
- Download and install the latest version of Blender: https://www.blender.org/
- NOTE- You do not need to create an XR scene in Unity prior to this tutorial, this will only cover landscape generation in Blender.
