To 6K, or NOT to 6K, that is the question.

On top of taking on Blender side by side with SFM, I'm contemplating an attempt at 6K versions of Blender/SFM videos in VR. I still need to test if this is actually possible (and feasible), but I wanted to put out some feelers if this is something enough people want and can actually use to make it worth it for our time.As it stands now my current VR computer can't handle 6K VR, but that doesn't mean I won't make 6K versions for you, our supporters. I'll most likely get a new VR HMD for my Blender computer so that I can properly test 6K VR as well as optimize my workflow, but that's assuming there's a desire for higher resolution videos. If there is I'll put the time and effort forward to make it happen (again, if it's possible AND worth it).

EDIT: To be clear, this would be an additional option. Not everyone has the same standards for what they want in VR. I am talking about adding the option of 6K for SFM and Blender.

6K is a good option but current hardware is not very supportive of this.

I say give it a shot, but don’t stress yourselves out or go broke over it either

The new HP Reverb G2 will have 2Kx2K displays, and will benefit greatly from higher resolution videos. Oculus is also supposed to have a high res headset coming out this fall. ...and I can already see a difference with my current-generation Oculus Quest.

I still use my 1440p phone.

The only thing holding me back is that on the quest, higher res clips lag quite a bit sometimes. But otherwise if there are high and low res options I'm down. You're good at what you do, just dont overload yourselves.

I don't have the hardware (or honestly the need) for 6k, but it seems like it'd be good to have for the future as a higher tier reward for those that'd want it.

Hi, you can make 6k as option, dont need to exclude 4k.

I will VR VR VR

No VR, no more interest

6k is better!
