The upcoming new VR Tier (Patreon)
Content
As mentioned on the front page, pre-rendered VR videos are planned to have their own separate 15$ tier. But I'm having some second thoughts, whether I should just include them on the 10$ tier as well. I kind of want to charge extra for them, just so I can have more tiers, and since they do take time off of doing new content, which tend to work a bit better for visibility, due to the still comparatively low VR adoption rate. But then again, I kind of feel everything should be included in the 10$ tier, except the possible extra voting power tier, that might, or might not come in the future. And to be honest, the rate at which this has been growing, is exceeding my expectations by quite a bit anyway.
I'm planning on releasing free lower res versions of them as well(either 1080p or 1440p, undecided, leaning towards 1440p), but as anyone who has tried stereoscopic 360 VR knows, anything under 4K can be a bit lacking. It's more of a preview really. Well I feel even 4K is lacking, but anything over that has other issues. Mainly rendering time, and I doubt many mobiles can run them. I'll also post a short preview of the 4K/UHD version when I release the first one, so you can see the difference for yourself.
The free version will have a small transparent watermark on the bottom, the full version won't, as they're a bit more distracting in VR as in normal videos.
I think some cardboard compatible mobiles can't run over 1080p videos, so I'll release a watermark-less lower res version for the VR tier in addition to the full res one, so you don't have to convert them yourself. All versions will be 60fps.
Let me know what you think. I'll go with what the poll ends up showing. However, the 15$ & 12,50$ options will be counted together, and the one with the higher vote count will be used, if their total is higher than the 10$ option.
