optic idea: fake red dot that’s actually just a pringles lid with a little sharpie mark on it

Antons really setting his sights on the new optic update. Just a update of gargantuan size you could call it a massive scope update, holographic red dot sight. And the c8 too

I guess you could say that this really broadens the scope of the project.

The enemy was so far away that I had to increase my scope's magnification to such a degree that I could no longer see the reticle, luckily, underneath the reticle my scope was wearing a second, smaller reticle.

Showed my dad (who has never played vr) your game and he loves it. We got something else in common now. Thank you for this wonderful game.

I still hope thermal optics get added eventually. But it's also real cool to see you can change the reticle color now!!!

9:15 "but as you can see we can just pull this out. YAAARRG!"

This game got me into VR in 2016 as i was too broke to buy guns. Just this week, i got my first REAL AR lol. What a journey

I do love just how weird the Telescope scope is. Leave the aberrations exactly like that. It's an old telescope, Oooold glass.

Well, Anton's sight may be my favorite optic in the game now.

I feel the only disadvantage to such a system with buttons is the ability to grab- switch magnifications then move the hand back to the fore on the fly. In T&H using an LPVO and not having to fiddle with extra aiming (clicking the button) is extremely useful as i still have sway in the rifle's position Im not complaining through- its your game and you run it how you wish

Holy moly, the changes to the focal plane and eyebox are everything I've ever wanted. Great work, Anton

Optics are one of my fav parts of the game and i like this system its pretty dope

Anton hitting the bullseye with the telescope scope was insanely impressive

This is genuinely one of the updates Im most excited about in a very long time. the first time i bought h3, i had a og vive, and scoped anything was just...bad. THE MAIN reason I went up to crazy resolutions in vr headsets IS SCOPED USAGE IN H3VR. I've said all I need to. Edit: Played with it some and I noticed two main things: The eye boxes are generally too close to the scope. I need to put rail extenders on the rifle to get the scope close enough to find the eye box. That and the scopes generally replicate the eye boxes of lower quality scopes. High end High magnification scopes generally still have quite forgiving eye boxes. The 3-9 scope's attachment is also a bit off. I can't position it the way I want

7:52 lmao I can hear your controller thunking on the headset, I wonder how many times that's happened to me 😆

Love it already! Cant wait to see more and more updated Scopes!

Niiiiiiiice! I love using long-range weapons in Supply Raid like sr_fork but the optics indeed stank so I'm excited to see the optic lineup be refreshed and to see the parallax again.

Thank you so much this I exactly what I was asking for and is a massive improvement on the old model!

Sick, glad on your behalf

I really love this new overhaul im really excited to see all of this! Every time you add something new I learn more and I love that keep up the great work all of you!!!

This looks awesome, can’t wait to try! Thank you Anton

Love this game, started playing just about 2 years ago when I was 17 now I’m 19 and bought my first shotgun and rifle because of this game thanks Anton

this is so perfect for me i recently really started to enjoy the winter take and hold map and using bolt action rifles to snipe targets from a far but kept getting annoyed with the scopes cuz i like to play super casual and it was one of the things that made me end up dropping the game again but then not even 5 days later you guys drop this update improving the game in such a way i cant help but get hyped again and ready to play! keep up the great work!

after seeing the optics in Vail VR, I was completely blown away. This looks really good I can't wait to try it for myself. Even after listening to the reasons you mentionned I believe there should be a quick way to change magnification, maybe not by rotating but by sliding sideways perhaps.

This is huge! Always struggled with optics in VR, this looks like a massive improvement

Neat! I never really had an issue with the scopes in h3 but will definitely be appreciating these details from now on

I love the lens distortion on the Telescope Scope but maybe reign in the aberration a little.

Looking good Mr Anton

you have NO idea of how hyped i am about this update... i absolutely adore long range shooting and im super eager to try it over the weekend!!!

this is wonderful news, I am so excited! I was just lamenting the limitations of red dots yesterday, and one of my favorite things to do in game is long range combat on the Dakota map, both of which will be much better with these new scopes! thank you and the guy who made the new scopes!!

love to see it *looks into the scope with an eye with an eyepatch*

Anton I don't know how you do it, but you continue to blow me away with these updates

Another video showing how much Anton love this game. And another video to increase our love for Anton. Thanks boss!

I am just always floored with what new crazy systems you manage to simulate in this game. Those are some fine optic overhauls now if I ever need to go shopping for optics I'll hop into H3VR and test them out first!

amazing work, it looks so clean!!!

This is a whole new playing field of awesome. Thank you Sir Hand and all those who support you.

4:25 42시간째 퀘스트2로 플레이 하면서 스코프 옵션 바꾸는 법을 몰라서 기본으로 사용해왔는데 최고의 업데이트 입니다!! 감사합니다 안톤!!

I did some light shooting with the 3-9x scope with the SVD on playful, it feels like some guns might have to use rail extenders to get the scope close enough to be usable on the higher magnifications, but I’ll have to do further testing on that, but aiming at longer distances feels crisp and smooth and I’ve had a much easier time tracking and shooting at moving targets on Northest Dakota. This might be one of the biggest updates for h3vr for me I used to avoid magnified scopes like the plague but these new ones feel really good to use

The excitement I get from this update is to the same level that institution gave me. This new optic engine is amazing.

Very well done Anton! These optics look gorgeous now!

the amount of time and effort just to make what seems like a little change but such a massive immersive update.

This is amazing work, Anton!

A quick way to adjust magnification would be really nice as well as quick ways to toggle lights

Those new scopes are amazing! Can't wait to try them out!

The Chromatic aeration affect is awesome.

Sounds like I have an excuse to use the WW2 scopes in T&H now. Tremendous work!

4:26 FINALLY I wanted an option for this so bad ut was frustating to be limited in terms of scope because i couldn't modify them the way i want. Thanks for this update !!!

New scope system look amazing! I can't wait to play with Mosin PU and realistic settings on a large scale maps

Wonderful! And here I thought Meatmas was over! Thanks, Anton!

This is probably the most exciting update in a while. The scopes definitely needed work, can’t wait to try it out!

I’m not an avid H3VR player, but I have to say this is CRAZY good. Well done.

Finally! Me as a Quest 2 User is stuggeling with the Settings of a Scope. This "interface" makes it so much easier! May your sleeve never get wet while handwashing.

I understand not having all turrets as an interactable part on the scope, but I believe the zoom should be, using the new interface just feels too slow for that. Just recently modders had made the zoom dial functional like that, and it was working pretty nicely

this is fantastic, so much more usable now. to be honest scope mods were one of the only things I wouldn't play without.

The chromatic abberation on the telescope scope actually looks really damn good, dial it down a few notches and I reckon it'll be pretty realistic

second time I see a VR game precisely modelling the way scopes work so far. (ironically first one was a gun range world in VRChat)

Weird optic suggestion: Armson OEG and "hip fire sights". Sights to high you can fire the gun from the hip and still use sights.

As much as I like the scopes getting better please give us more places to use them. Another map with longer range combat would be great. Another gamemode would also be appreciated. I love H3VR but sometimes I feel there just isnt enough to do.

Scopes look great. Kind of surprised Anton does not have a min spec testing rig tbh. Seems a sensible investment.

Looks so good. Noice job!

so awesome. I've got shaky ass hands and scopes and reticles in-game are really difficult to deal with

ive been so tired of the touchpad control scheme for screwing with my optics. now we just need it for lasers and other relevant attachments. keep up the good work anton!

omg haha ive been hoping the scopes will be updated for so long im so hyped and a suggestion could be adding a futuristic scope where it goes from 1x to 40x while being the size of a small acog ? while being as pratical as possible i know it wont be realistic but would be fun to mess around with !!

I didn't know halation in vr was what I needed but I think I'm in love

Just don't forget about the guns with built-in scopes like the AUG

i hunt with a scoped single action revolver with a 10.5inch barrel, this is exciting for me to get some more practical practice with that

Hey anton, sorry i've missed some of your devlogs recently. Lookin great

You know what I could spot being good with a new scope system? The MacMillan Tac 50 Canadian sniper rifle

I used to run H3 on a gtx 960. I am now running a 4070 sooo not much I can do to show you performance impacts. I honestly don't remember ever having major performance issues back when I would play on the 960 though, even with tons of mods. Your game runs great, Mr Hand.

Super exciting stuff.

Yeah I noticed with the old system it looks like you put marker on the back lens and called it a day so this will definitely help me lean more into magnified optics 😅

You should be able to put the telescope on the flintlock just for maximum pirating. Or just add a musket

This is why you're a king among devs. Concern for the optics.

(Gonna put this comment here too cuz idk how visibility works with sub-comments) It makes sense to me not to have it be position based and super realistic, cuz that would definitely be tedious and feel awful, but I think it would be great to still have it be UI based, but just have the option to use the touchpad to control it, i.e. left and right to cycle values, up and down to cycle scope options, and simply gripping the front of the weapon or not interacting with the UI for a few seconds closes the UI

How bad would the physics load get just for adjusting magnification? At least with the LPVO's, if there was any way to grab it to adjust magnification without clicking a UI, it'd help a lot for just that. Awesome to see updates still coming!

I think having LPVO magnification being the only thing that you can physically adjust would be reasonable. They don't have clicks and usually aren't used with micro adjustments when just adjusting the magnification.

Imma be real ive never played h3vr but i fucking love your devlogs, they’re just so enjoyable to watch omfg

I was wondering why 1x scopes shift the view so much if they don't even multiply it, seemed objectively worse than red dots I'm gonna be using them now, thank you ❤

I played Receiver 2 a lot recently and I think it'd be really cool if you made a random generated mode that played like receiver with either robots, sosigs, or both

can't wait to see what the YOLO scope's second focal plane is going to read 😬

these are so cool it looks so good

these models look fantastic, I love the lens reflection. I know it's going to take a while to update al of these but please please please put a couple of updated scopes into the sniper range, I could spend all day in there just zeroing a scope.

That is amazing! Do you use render targets with a camera upfront for the scopes, or some other approach to render the magnified image in the optic?

the new scopesytem is gona be fun.

Wow! 10 Bazingas out of 10! I love it!

4:10 - Ghost DR mentioned, happy dance ensues - If this means one of my favorite optics gets updated AND fixed, yay! A suggestion: it'd be nice to at least have an interactable spot on a scope like the GhostDR that just toggles between 1x and 4x, kinda like the flip-up sights on the 416 or SCAR. I get the impracticality of physicalizing every knob (esp since physical feedback is, indeed, still the suckiest part of VR), but it'd be nice to have a few controls with quicker access.

Updates like this remind me why I love this game. An optics simulatuon update in any flatscreen game would be basically meaningless but for hhh it's very cool.

Optics, my beloved

definitely gonna need a bunch of different binoculars and monoculars now

Man, this is fantastic

Oh man, I've wanted the scopes to be two-eye capable for a REALLY long time! Being as that's how I use them in real life largely, at least for target acquisition.

Would love to see an OEG sight - they’d actually be able to work as intended in VR

Reticle illumination finally makes it's return!

The tele-scope should absolutely have absurd chromatic aberration, there should also be a method to turn it into a techni-color hellscape from the worst of all acid trips.

This is glorious.

I think we need that "yargh" sound byte in game now. Maybe another tippy toy?

I appreciate you keeping a sort of menu with buttons for the optic options because most modded scopes albeit cool additions to the game use controller buttons which are not 100% compatible with, for example, my G2 headset controllers and they are a pain to use.

me using the spyglass indoors at max zoom on a Glock: wow this lens distortion is literally unplayable wtf anton

Know what else has scopes (probably) the c8. We stan the c8 guy
