Abstract

We present ensemble3D, a shared virtual world to create 3D content such as video games and CG movies. Generally, 3D content is created by multiple professionals who have different specialties. For instance, creators design 3D objects and scenes, while directors check the designs to develop the quality. However, each task is achieved by different individual workspaces, so much time is spent combining the results and completing the content. Therefore, we designed a shared virtual world that allows creators and directors to share a 3D scene at the same time. In the joint workspace, the director’s comments and requests are smoothly responded to by creators. Moreover, our system supports multiple devices, such as HMD, tablets, and PC. In this paper, we describe our ensemble3D, focusing on the concept, design, and implementation.
