Hi, I put maps on SteamVR Home and soon to be VRChat:
steamcommunity.com/id/puffychee...
A VR screenshot of photogrammetry from Mount Wellington, overlooking Hobart. The rocky foreground leads to the city far below, with bays and hills under a blue sky with clouds. A SteamVR Home environment using photogrammetry of Mars at the Perseverance landing site, featuring a Portal weighted cube on the rocky surface, with a rover wheel in the foreground and a barren landscape under a hazy sky. A Gaussian splat screenshot of a sidewalk scene with a leafy tree casting shadows over a wooden bench. A storefront and street are visible in the background. The splatting effect appears along the edges, giving the foliage and sky a blurred, abstract quality. A SteamVR Home environment using photogrammetry of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, viewed from below. Showing the bridge's steel structure and stone pillar on the right, with greenery at the base and Sydney Harbour in the background under a clear blue sky.

12 months will pass with me forgetting that I have a blog..
I did a quick write up about SteamVR Home no longer being the default now that the Steam Frame has launched:

Hmm. I guess the community page for SteamVR is not in use much, I only got to it as I was linked from Valve's dev wiki. It hasn't seen a new post since 2018 😅 Still contains imagery for the original Steam Controller and Machine. Whelp! steamcommunity.com/steamvr

None of the demos of the Steam Frame had SteamVR Home which is my main jam, I was hoping for some revamp but perhaps they will stop using it all together.

steam frame announcement impressions:

a bit disappointed by the grayscale passthrough, resolution, and soft strap without on-ears. none of those are deal breakers though.

the expansion port with camera mipi and pci-e is very interesting, as is the headstrap modularity.

Reposting some pigeon art because I've been working on sewing together a pigeon-themed blanket today.
Digital art close-up of a very fluffy pigeon from the top down, in a vague heart shape. It's very pink and lavender, surrounded by tinier bits of fluff and feather. Digital illustration of a human hand holding a feral pigeon that is grey with dark and lighter spots and a light head. In its beak is a red thread that holds a golden, vintage key. The thread loops around the fingers on the hand. Digital bust painting of a pigeon's head, with beautiful teal and purple neck feathers and orange eye.

Of the VR headsets I’ve owned the Bigscreen Beyond 2 has the worst initial setup of all. The extreme fine tuning required of sub-millimeter IPD changes per lens and the trial & error software settings took me two days.. And yet, for all that, lo I have beheld the most immersive virtual reality ever.

A blue lily (Agapanthus praecox) high poly I worked on for my Italian courtyard scene. Hand painting some of the texturing sheet was pretty fun!
