Heheh . . . 10 years after the model and images were originally produced, I'm now using the same data in vRED Design as a VR demo using VIVE Pro headset. I've got this file rigged with working loader arms, wheel and tyre variants, and a variety of features inside the cab to demonstrate how Digital Ergonomic assessments can be conducted. It's fun to get some additional practical use out of this concept.
I'm still getting to grips with vRED, but am finding the image quality achievable to be really pleasing. Quick render exploring DoF capability (2019)
