Did anyone else have an overwhelming urge for an ice cold beer after walking around here? Good job😀😀

How did you make this

lovely supPORT of steamVR for photogrammetrie.
i am afraid that a 12 megapixel mobile phone camera with a FREE photogrammetrie software will only look half as good (and take roughly 6 days of nonstop computing for a ryzen9 processor for a map of that size) but i surely will try this one day. just not during the northern-summer, because i got no water cooling and the pc gets too noisy and energy inefficient when 90% in use in the summer heat for more than 2 hours.

@LRS_VR: Haven't tried using a 360 degree camera myself, but the scan here apparently used one, with interesting results: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825817104

Really high quality enviroment. I hope to be able to produce such quality one day. Good job

Woah a new environment from Valve? Possible new SteamVR updates in the works? ;)

Is there a way I could use a 360 degree camera to scan an environment and upload it that way to make the modeling process easier?

Maybe the best map on the steam workshop, it really came out great.

Very nice work

My mom was born here :)

incredible

Beautiful, thank you.

Thanks for the new environment!
These and the ones in The Lab are what got me into photogrammetry, I hope we see more VR content in the future by Valve :)

Very cool

Thanks for uploading this!

What does 'Cargo Cult' mean?

This is gorgeous, and dare I say, it is a nice thing to see the Cargo Cult account doing SteamTours release.

This is really nice. I've always found this capture method very interesting. I would love if Valve could add smooth locomotion to SteamVR Home to make it easier to explore and feel immersed in environments.

@Chief VR: There's a fair amount of (written) documentation over here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamVR/Environments

General gist of it:
* Create a new, empty addon
* Import your textured model using the simple import tool
* Create a map in Hammer
* Place imported model as prop_static in map
* Place an info_player_start entity where you want to first appear in VR
* Compile the map
* Put on headset, explore map in VR!

Really cool! I'm going to try doing this with my room and an Xbox kinect. Are there any pointers or video guides for importing you could give me?

Ohh the excitement! I'm shaking my fists! :D Thanks!!
