how do i change my base station skin

does this work with the new 2.0 base station models?

Awesomeee! Hahaha

Best Skin! For Vive!

It's so cool! Thanks dude

Perfect size

Using Rift. the cameras are facing away from me, so I'm looking at the back sides of them. not very cool at that angle.

I wish the camera followed my headset's position.

If only I had the HTC vive

Great looking skin for the base stations, maybe just a touch smaller would be nice.

They feel a bit too big.

Sweet!

The best! Great job. Thanks!

This broke my SteamVR. After loading the camera it crashed Compositor and kept crashing it every time after restart :/

LOL

how do i install this to conmtrollers???

@i208khonsu: Thank you very much, my friend.

@caaahl At the time of this post you need to opt into SteamVR Beta in order to change the camera model where you're looking.

Love it, but feel it could use some tweaks; perhaps it's just my setup.

The model is a lot taller than the standard model and because it seems that the top of the grey mount of the model aligns when where the top of the standard model is, the camera is a bit lower than where I'd expect it to be.

In adition to the grey part being aligned with the standard model, and the camera here is tilted, it seems that the camera is angled further downward than where you would expect it. Instead of the camera looking at my head, it's not looking at my crotch. I'm flattered really, but seems strange.

Somehow i dont to get this working. When i enter steam vr and select settings on the bottom right, I dont see "customize". I see general vr settings, chaperone, background images and stuff, but i cant manage to find a menue where i could apply skins to the base stations. Help a moron out here.

The origin point on these should be set so the camera-eye is at the same location and pointing exactly as the base-station, so they convey where tracking is pointing better. Other than that, these are great. The scale is nice too.

Sweet, now i want 3d files that fit over the lighthouse so i can make them look like this IRL.

Nice, this is actually a perfect fit for the base stations. Way better looking and gives more informative visual feedback than just the black boxes.

Nice Brad, people like keep the community going, i'll will always respect the Workshop creators, they put so much effort and love in a gift for the people.

when will they allow us to have moving backgrounds like when you boot up Vive home in move around a platform. I'm so excited about this because it is only the beginning and there's already a load of cool content available :-)

Let him eat cake!!

nice. now all we need is the portal 2 starting room and we're golden.

Nice.

Good job Brad.

The Portal Security Camera is not a lie.
