   Slight tangent - I almost exclusively use Kodi (formerly XBMC) to watch youtube videos and I never see ads. I guess it's only a matter of time until they patch that hole though...

    Stewart Lee handled this beautifully in his 90's Comedian show when Joe Pasquale stole some of his material. He made a joke Pasquale couldn't steal, which involved, among other things, vomiting into the gaping anus of Christ.

    I don't understand the question. You've already got a 3D environment, all you have to do is implement camera control for the headset. For simulation games where the user is stationary (planes, cars) you can pretty much stop there.

    I learned a bunch of it last year and was continually amazed at how good it is and how many features it has. Not just modelling, but compositing, animation, video editing...
