I am trying to give this a chance, but it's every bit as tedious and frustrating and demoralizing as I was hoping it wasn't. And I'm trying to give it a genuine chance here, too, I'm taking time looking for things, but trying to build a single material, that requires 3D-movement skeumorphisms (a-la, drag a texture into a slot like in Unity, makes perfect sense when working in VR but a titanic chore in desktop), is draining my will to keep trying. I really want to.
I know others could do it for me, but this is the same accessibility hammer I keep striking: having to rely on someone else to do a task that is otherwise easy in another tool is _not_ an accessibility replacement. It's an excuse, a crutch, it's not a fix.
Fix idea: Allow me snapping inventory to a region of the screen, snapping an inspector view to another region, and keeping a fixed view I can navigate without requiring WASD movement. Make toggling between thumbnail and list views of files (and a tree view of folders) intuitive with a simple click toggle (if there was one I couldn't find it).
I'm just struggling to figure out how everyone else does this so easily. Can you, in VR view, just drag files straight from the filesystem view in the dashboard to their slots in the inspector? Since it's full-screen, I can't do that. Does it just vastly prefer I pre-make all the materials in Blender and import the .blend file so it's ready-to-go out-of-the-box?
I'm just frustrated. Everyone talks up "it has everything". I'm sure it does, but a monolithic approach to constructing something means you're stuck with whatever means they give you. Does Resonite's API allow me to construct my avatar in another tooling and then upload it in the state I've built it?
I'm just... I'm tired of having to bang on accessibility drums for my own disabilities. It hurts seeing them downplayed or ignored, "just rely on others" hurts. Help should be something I ask for on the times that I want it.
