The virtual software Oculus Medium is called "immersive virtual reality experience". Users can sculpt, paint, and model the actual objects in a virtual environment, providing a very natural touch control.

Simply using VR technology to make this 3D monster character is very complicated. Giovanni Napkil revealed a small amount of information about how to make rich colors and details: He first drew a layer of light on the face of the monster to wash out the warm colors, and then made brown tones in the crevices and embedded areas to make dark tones. Slender patterns are made in a large area, the effect of which looks like a vein of a monster.

And Stratasys' color 3D printing technology perfectly prints the virtual 3D characters into entities, helping the staff to better understand the characters and polish the story during the film production process.
