Here to share his thoughts on the matter is Jonathan Gagne, CEO at Masterpiece Studio. Tune in to hear Jonathan’s explanation of today’s content creation pipeline and how VR makes it possible for everyone to take their creativity to the next level. He shares an example of a client who has created double the content at half the price through Masterpiece Studio, and explains why using the software is much easier than you think; and it’s accessible to everyone! Jonathan introduces us to the thorough process that his company follows to produce the products available to the public and predicts that, in the next five years, everything you see online will integrate a spatial component. We hope you join us today to hear all this and more!

“There’s so much demand for creating 3D content, yet literally about one percent of creatives can actually create this content.” — @BrinxSoftware [0:01:27]

“We don’t want you to have to have a whole team together just to make one asset, one 3D object. Let’s do it all yourself. Let’s use your hands in a natural way.” — @BrinxSoftware [0:06:24]

“This is the first software in existence that has a full pipeline that’s easy to use, both in VR and not in VR.” — @BrinxSoftware [0:09:43] 

“You may not realize this at this moment but, in the next five years, all of your work is [still] going to be over the internet like it is today. It’s just going to have that spatial component.” — @BrinxSoftware [0:14:56]
