- Rediscovering the purpose of my TH-cam channel after many months without uploading, this video serves as a breakdown of my experience with creating a realistic contemporary apartment render, before porting it over to Source 2 for SteamVR Home.

I've actually used this room in SteamVR Home before, how funny. I'm currently looking into recreating my room in a 1:1 scale as a hangout space in VR, first I need to learn how to use Blender. lol
That's something I've been intending to do a video on as well. Good luck!
Awesome work!
Valve actually added lightmapping to SteamVR Home recently. It is accessible from the Custom Settings in the build dialog, and is unfortunately not viewable in Hammer.
Thanks for the info!
Man I LOVE that area in spaceship earth. Didn’t expect to hear it was your inspiration
Is it possible to have an animated or moving skyboxes?
I've has the idea burning in my brain to make a rotating torus space station or O'Neil Cylinder home for a while now, probably from watching too much SFIA on TH-cam, and while I have the general idea for what to model out I don't have the game dev skills to know what's available to me
Sounds like a cool idea, though animated skyboxes are kind of a tricky concept and there are a number of different approaches. I've also been working with space-centric game development and have created an animated space skybox before in Unity (though I ended up scrapping it). I did this by writing a shader that just offsets UV coordinates/color over time. Note that you only have to animate whatever is actually moving in the skybox too - in my case, a nearby star is not part of the skybox but rather a separate sphere with an animated shader.
I'm not quite sure this would be possible in the SteamVR Home toolset from this video because I don't think they allow you to write your own shaders.
My man came a long way from funny quackers
amazing
I've been thinking of making a room to port in vr but I have way too many tris, it would be so laggy if I did it. that thing you did where you baked the fabric and other details into the uv maps was smart. do you have or know of any tutorials for that.
Unfortunately I haven't created any detailed tutorials on the topic but this might send you in the right direction: www.katsbits.com/codex/bake-normal-maps/
cant you apply location to all your objects then when importing to the source egnine you can position all of the objects to 0 z 0 y 0x and you wont have to manually place them ?
Yes good point, I didn't want to bake the location into the majority of objects so that they could be reused as assets on other projects. Having an object origin outside of the actual mesh wouldn't have helped the numerous physically active objects either, assuming Source uses the object origin as a center of mass.
How did you get the materials to load in SteamVR? My colorless, textureless world is sad :(
I used Source 2's built-in material editor, creating materials is easy: developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dota_2_Workshop_Tools/Materials/Material_Editor
I still don't get how to add sound
This should help:

Where’s downtown toontown fam :(
i was wondering if you have an Instagram?
No but maybe soon
